== Dumb idea? ==
Are these microsummaries going to generate a page request every time a user opens their browser, or even more often?  That's going to generate one page request for every bookmarked page per user.  That's a hell of a lot of page requests globally, potentially costing anyone using this technology a LOT in terms of bandwidth.  Unless the interface to this actually adds some big benefit to site publishers in the form of getting more peoples' eyes on their sites,
this is going to be a wasted effort.
What's wrong with RSS to notify people of changes?  Why are you trying to add RSS type functionality into HTML and into the Bookmarks system?  Is this
actually needed?
