Dragging Safari tabs to new Spaces
Let's suppose you have several Spaces set up to work on different projects. You have all of your tabs loaded in one Safari window in one Space. You also have corners set up to activate Spaces and Expose. Now if you want to take a Safari tab and turn it into a separate window in a different Space you must first drag it out of the tab bar, let it expand into a full window, then drag to a corner or screen edge to get it into a new Space.
With a click and hold, the cursor carries the miniature tab/window, and a mouse action (such as hot corners) should be accessible for Expose or Spaces.

Agreed - you should just be able to tear tabs off and either drag to the edge of the screen (and hold it there for a few seconds) or manually activate spaces.
If you had Spaces on your dock (the default for clean Leopard installs), dragging the tab or window onto the Spaces icon, or hitting F8 whilst dragging, should also activate the Spaces selection.
As well, dragging the tab/window and htiting CTRL-arrow should also zip the window to the new space with you.
I'm not certain, but I think there's software that enables this, but - before I get my head bitten off for suggesting that third-party software enhances an operating system - I'm sure it costs a couple of bucks, and it could do with being part of Spaces by default.
Even though I don't use Spaces. :o)
