I'm not sure there is a "usually" case for any of these.  We could do it
heuristically - if you have less than 5 request headers (or 5 form elements,
etc) then expand by default.  But that doesn't seem right either.

The rationale behind my suggestion about doing them all or nothing is that I
suspect people want to look at the resource data, or the meta data, but don't
need to see them both at the same time.  And when you want to see the meta
data, you want to see all of it.  It's less flexible compared to the "pick
whatever you want to expand", but I suspect it would work well for most folks
most of the time, and flexibility brings busy-ness.

I just had someone give me a little FireBug demo (not set up to run correctly
on my box at the moment), and I can see they show a tabbed container with a tab
for content, and a tab for headers, which shows both the request and response
headers together.  All or nothing approach - though with FB, you can't see the
resource data AND headers together, ever, unlike in WI, where they are combined
into a scrollable area.
