[uf-discuss] Microformats and Firefox 3

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!
