make the reading page's window title change when new entries have been posted

Title:
make the reading page's window title change when new entries have been posted

Area:
reading page

Summary:
I think it would be useful if the reading page changed its title with the number of new entries posted since you last reloaded, so if three people posted since I last reloaded my window title/tab name would say "ratcreature | Reading (3)" instead of just "ratcreature | Reading".

Description:
I reload my reading page fairly often, but frequently nothing has bee posted. OTOH my GMail inbox changes its window title and thus the tab name with the number of new messages in brackets, so I can see that new mail has arrived, and the Tumblr Dashboard does something similar in that a number appears over the Dashboard link and the also title changes with the number in brackets, so I can see something new was posted, even if I'm in another tab, and then reload the page to see the new content. Also, in Firefox I can change these to application tabs, and the small tab markers change color to alert me.

I think it would be useful if the Dreamwidth reading list also changed the title of the window if new posts appeared with the number of posts since I last reloaded the page.

I don't know how this kind of thing is realized on the technical side, so I'm not sure what the drawbacks would be. Maybe if it caused more server traffic the time interval in which the status is checked needs to be larger so that it wouldn't be nearly instantaneous, but it would still help if it only checked every couple of minutes (which is about the time interval I'm rechecking my reading list manually when I'm really bored and hope someone would post something already).

Add "grant access" to subscription notification

Title:
Add "grant access" to subscription notification

Area:
notifications

Summary:
In the "someone has subscribed to you" notification, add an option to grant them access

Description:
When someone subscribes to me, there are several options to subscribe to them or read their journal or view their profile. But for some users (including me), the most likely thing I am going to want to do is grant them access, particularly if I recognise their username. Please could this be added to the notification email? I know I can click the subscribe link, untick that box and tick the other one, but that's really unintuitive.
