Comments on this old thread:

  1. Bastien, would it be worth adding this to the Worg add-on page?

  2. Rather than having the javascript bookmarklet create a
     annotation://... URL which then invokes a custom handler, would
     another possibility be to have the javascript directly construct
     the link and write it to the clipboard?  Although I see that this
     would require jumping through some other hoops:

       http://kb.mozillazine.org/Granting_JavaScript_access_to_the_clipboard

     and I guess it wouldn't work for remember://... which requires
     more than putting something in the clipboard.

  3. Would gconf be a more browser-agnostic way of handling new
     protocols?  e.g.

       gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/url-handlers/remember/command \
                   -t string 'org-annotation-helper %s'
