A sharper thumbnail would, in general, be useful - not sure whether a parameter is specifically required.
Unfortunately the appreciate amount of sharpening is highly content dependant (and to some extent a matter of taste). I have absolutely zero hope of a single always on sharping setting giving better results overall than none at all... I do hope that a small number of user specified settings (none,low,high) would suffice. If someone is aware of any papers on automagically selecting appropriate sharpening, I'd love to hear about it. ... but this is just getting off topic.
I'm glad to hear that other people think such features would be useful.
