Over the past few months I have been thinking how nice it would be to have a couple extra windowing buttons. Here is my short list.

Comparing, sharing and transferring data between windows on a regular basis. Drag and drop is my best friend. How would you feel about 3-4 more squares in the upper corner of your window?
There's also the Macintosh behaviour that switches between the "standard state" (what the app thinks a sensible default size for the window to be) and the "user state" (what I resize it to be).
Back in the OS9 days most apps seemed to do _really_ sensible picks for the standard state - so hitting zoom would usually take me to the size that I wanted the app to be. Seems to be less true in more recent OS X apps.
I miss it when using Windows machines (then again - most Windows users seem to the lack of a full-screen-zoom annoying on the Mac :)
