There should be some security concerns here. To Microsoft's credit, IE7 did show me a warning dialog when I tried to add the bookmark. Although the warning message is rather vague about what is wrong. There is no warning when I add it to Firefox.

Bookmarklet (aka Favelet)
Only recently did I notice how powerful a bookmark could be. For a nice demo of what you could accomplish, follow this link: http://slayeroffice.com/tools/modi/v2.0/modi_help.html. This is definitely NOT what you would expect from adding a link to bookmark. Huge javascript code can be executed on the page you are currently browsing, by clicking on the bookmark.
