I've understood that it's inserted by the web developer to enable
him/her to implement the Microformat-actions in their own designs
and it's suggested that the class "user-action" should be used to
indicate that something is meant to be a link to such an action.
Yes, while previous Firefox designs have focused on the browser
injecting UI into the page, this discussion is about how the content
creator should provide links and buttons for acting on microformatted
content.
Another problem might be that the browser will be changing the
visibility property because that disables the designer from turning
of the action-div's visibility. For example - the designer wants
the action-button/link to only be shown when you hover over the
hCard it's connected to, therefor the designer hides it by setting
the visibility property to hidden and changing it upon hover. If
the browser then changes the visibility the design won't look like
it was intended to.
Yeah, that's a good point.

One thing I need someone to clarify:
Is that div.user-action inserted by the user-agent, in this case,
Firefox 3? Or do the authors have to include that code on their
pages?
This wasn't very clear to me...

The last class is new:
<div class="user-action" style="visibility:hidden">Add to Address
Book</div>
The text "Add to Address Book" is hidden by default, unless the
browser
(or an extension) recognizes user-action
...or unless the user agent has no CSS functionality available.
Is that "degrading gracefully"?
What I don't understand in thate example is that the "user-action"
is applied onto a div which doesn't contain any links or buttons.
An action is most often initiated by clicking on either a link or a
button. Will the browser add such a control? If so the control over
the design won't be completely handed over to the designer which it
should be.

If a class is to be used it should only connect an action and not
add anything or change anything about the site.
