Yes, Stakeout looks very cool.  I also thought of using folder actions  
for this, but I don't know how to get Safari or Mozilla to refresh from  
a command line or AppleScript.  Does anyone have a working example for  
this?

In BBEdit I used to use a script like this:
Save and Refresh Safari.scpt
tell application "BBEdit"
	save window 1
end tell

tell application "Safari"
	do JavaScript "location.reload()"
end tell

But that stopped working with one of the updates to OS X.  I would like  
to see an AppleScript that would check to see if the current file's URI  
was open in any Safari window or tab.  If so bring it to the front and  
refresh, else open a new tab with the URI.

Any ideas?  I can't be the first person to try this.
