Something that has bugged me for awhile is that, even though apps are capable outputting a seperate image on an AirPlay connected TV, Apple has made almost no effort to implement this in their own software. I think Safari could particularly benefit from this feature. With that in mind I have produced a very basic illustration of how it could work, using the iPad as a basis:

So starting with the iPad you see that the web page window has shunk down to 16:9, with thumbnails over each tab to take advantage of the extra UI space. Meanwhile on the TV you simply see the web page, in full screen and totally unobstructed by the user interface.
