Speaking for myself, I haven't been able to grok this item.  I think there
are at least three code bits, and some other chunks in here.  A shell
script, some elisp, and some javascript?  Also, I do not understand what is
the bookmarklet.  I know what a bookmarklet is.

I'm going to pass on this for now; however, perhaps it is not unwarranted to
suggest that if this gets even to a contrib/ directory, some further
explanation may be needed for some of us.  Me in particular.

This could be EXTREMELY useful.

I recently started using Zotero to store links and selected parts of pages,
and I have been trying to reach out to a broader range of bibliography and
reference and collection managers/utilities.  This can help me, as I begin
to incorporate org-mode into my workstyle.  Saving selected text in a
remember note to be stored with the URL, and the ability to save this to an
org-mode file: that seems promising.

A clueless traveler,

Alan Davis
