BBDB related Firefox extension

I imagine that not everyone on this group follows Firefox extensions,
but there's a really interesting one that was released a few days
ago. It's called Operator (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/4106/),
and basically it parses information from webpages that use
microformats (microformats.org) and gives the user ways to actually
use that information, such as sending the data to an address book, or
a mapping website.

Since I use Gnus and BBDB for my email and address book, I wrote an
extension to it that takes contact information from an hCard and uses
emacsclient to insert it into the BBDB. It's available from
http://db48x.net/microformats/bbdb.js. It's still in the very early
stages, and all it can do is send the data to emacs. It can't detect
duplicate entries or try to merge them or anything like that, but I
thought someone might be interested.

I welcome any feedback.
