[I actually created this awhile ago, but never sent it 'round]

It is really common for extensions to want to offer additional
contextual options for content elements. For example "Download this
movie", "edit this image", "call this phone number", etc.

You can use content scripts for this, but since it is such a common
task, I think it deserves its own proper API. This would allow this
class of extensions to interact well with pages, with each other, and
have a nice consistent UI.

Anyway, here's an API proposal for such a thing:
