Context menu on the CD/DVD source device inside 'Computer' would offer
an extra menu item 'Copy Disc...', which would launch a variant of
nautilus-cd-burner dedicated to cloning. This window would come up and
allow you to select a target device and write speed.

A button for advanced options in nautilus-cd-burner...

nautilus-cd-burner already supports this, just select 'Image file' as
target device. Although I think it always writes ISO, no other format.

Make an association for the iso9660 MIME type to the nautilus cd
burner.

Now this is truly advanced, but maybe nautilus-cd-burner could
theoretically handle this too, I'm not sure... If not, this is not so
common that we can't live without it.
IMHO, what we really need is a nautilus cd burner just a bit more
flexible and more desktop integration. We don't need a new standalone
app.
Just my 0.02 €.
