Rumor has it that another microformats extension for Firefox may be using this style of interaction. I'll link to it once it is publicly released.

Live Clipboard (Ray Ozzie, and his concept development team):

Operator 6.0.2 (Kaply):

Instead of the black outline, maybe use an icon that follows the cursor (or change the cursor itself), when it hovers a microformat, indicating "Context click here to interact with the microformat". This way you avoid changing/overlaying the web page while still making the microformat somewhat discoverable. --Dikrib 06:44, 4 February 2007 (PST)
