Yeah, I thought it was a stretch :)  I meant that the suggested  
browser plugin for sending these reference types to BibDesk could be  
added to Operator, but that would require the parsers etc to be there  
and that ain't going to happen (since they wouldn't be parsing well  
marked up html).  I guess I was just pointing out the similarities.

I know what you mean.  It's definitely "paving the cow-path" (lots of  
individual's publication pages work like that) and would be  
immediately useful for us.  It wouldn't be too hard on publishers  
either (would be a simple template change for Google Scholar).   
That's 3 uf'y points in favor :)  I lurk there and could speak up in  
support but watching hCite I understand your reluctance.

Cheers,
James
