Well at _some_ situations, bookmarks referencing javascript could be
handy. For example, i have several Cobalt servers locally running here.
These thingies are configured/administrated/used primarily via a web
frontend which makes extensive use of javascript. I would really
appreciate, if i could simply add some "actions" from their menues to
some toolbar-buttons of konqueror. AFAIK there are also several Printers
from HP and Tektronics which use similar web based GUIs.
