#2If you add some kind of "snap to DOM" ability or whatever, so that the rulers align with "places" already "defined" by the DOM+CSS, it might even be better.
But it may not, obviosly.

#3I think the rulers also need to be position:fixed

#4Am I the only one who thinks the vertical lines should be triggered when you click the top ruler and vice versa? Now it's the other way around and it feels counterintuitive.

#5This brings back that sinking feeling when a client gets out the ruler and holds it up to their screen and then down to the printout the designer gave to them. shudder

Thought the same, you're likely to click the point on the ruler that you want the guide to appear at.

Photoshop has been using the drag&drop method for the last 15 years, so I've gotten used to it. I can see your reason behind wanting to click a point on the scale, but adjusting the guide would require you to drag it orthogonal again anyway.

It's the way Photoshop (and the rest of Adobe's suite) has done it for ages and it's intuitive in the sense that you're creating something of a copy of that ruler and its alignment.

That wouldn't help when dealing with content that goes beyond the fold though.
