Safari Browser Extensions Gallery Coming Soon ...

"Apple has opened up the Safari extensions gallery for third-party submissions in preparation of opening the gallery to the public. While you can install extensions now, you need to first know where to download them."
I love Safari, but have often wondered why there aren't more extensions (add-ins) to the basic browser. I use SafariCookies to manage "regular" and Flash cookies, but I haven't found much else. And, where are the extensions to sort bookmarks? I use SafariSort (Sortosaurus), but this function should be part of Safari, or at least an extension.
All this is about to change. Apple has announced that extensions to Safari will be officially permitted. Details are rather sparse right now, but it appears that developers will have their code reviewed by Apple, and the extension(s) will then be available to end users for download (we assume directly from Apple). I can't wait for FoxClocks for Safari!
