I really like this idea, I just forward the post and mockups to the rest of our UX team and our lead engineer.

This is not particularly transient

If the margin marks bar only appeared on pages with recognized content, then I think this would certainly count as being transient. Or, to be even less intrusive, a small mark could indicate content was recognized, and clicking on that could cause the margin marks bar to slide in.

Dimitri: this is a great idea and the mockups are really well done, thanks for posting it!

Mike, Alex - I think you should take a very serious look at Dimitri's
Margin Marks idea. Check out the screen mock-ups here:

Implementation would be a bit of a headache, but he has proposed a very elegant solution on, IMHO, the right way to display semantic data items
on a web page. It is the best approach that I've seen so far, over all
of the UI concepts for Microformats in Firefox 3.

This is the same way that Eclipse shows the developer warnings, comments
and errors via the code editor. It would do well as a transient UI AND
wouldn't be intrusive on the browsing experience when the UI is active.
Exciting stuff...
