I don't follow your argument for saving space by adding an extra line for an
expandable group label. What's the difference in space savings between one line
that has all the info a developer would need versus one line that you need to
click on to expand? (Not to mention that it's not enough to just click the
label, you need to click that tiny little usability nightmare arrow)

Who is the target audience for this aspect of the Web Inspector? Developers who
are looking for information about HTTP requests I would have though. I think
it's safe to optimise for people who understand the HTTP spec in this case. Why
make life harder for those who know what they're looking for?

This is a power tool after all. A lot of little details like this, where
friendliness and neatness are optimised to the detriment of detail, power and
usefulness make the difference between this and Firebug in my opinion. It's by
no means an either/or situation, but more like an alignment of priorities.
