Since the introduction of Safari 5.x (I'm currently using: 534.48.3) plugins such as 1Password can no longer autofill and submit HTP Auth dialogues.

As far as I've come to understand from Agile Bits developers this is due to the fact that the Extensions API does not provide any way for plugins to hook into such modal dialogues to provide this functionality. 

Though people are now looking into other ways to circumvent this limitation (currently just copy-pastng passwords) I feel that such an API should exist to provide this functionality for extensions as to not be bound to, for example, the OS X keychain to handle this specific case.
