On the Missing of a Big Huge Opportunity

As seen on /. [1], this, from the Royal Society of London backfiles [2], is way cool. But look further: there's this link option list [3], and the little box full of format options off to the side of the first page.

Maybe it would help sell the world on COinS and unAPI [4] if we wrote one (1) greasemonkey script/ffx extension that unAPI-fied a few dozen prominent sites (rather than the one-userscript-per-resource strategy we'd already followed). I could add a unAPI server proxy for all these sites to OPA [5], too.

The whole of slashdot readership is starting at pages with OpenURLs right now.

Anybody got a sec to get the ball rolling?
