I've knocked together a basic accelerator now (attached) which
doesn't include the optional preview functionality. It uses
gazetteer.openstreetmap.org to find the selected text. You can't
install from a local system so I've stuck it on my homepage (with
suitable button to install it, should anyone want to try it).

I think it works, but gazetteer isn't particularly quick (or is that
just me?).
