Webclipping:

Here is what I do now:
  1. Select the text (or HTML as it were) in Mozilla.
  2. Paste it into the Mozilla Composer.
  3. Annotate, edit, etc...
  4. Save the HTML file.

Here is what I used to do:
  1. Select the text (HTML, yada, yada...) in IE.
  2. Open up MS Word and paste it.
  3. Annotate, edit, etc...
  4. Export the file as HTML.

Here's what I'd like to do:
  1. Select the piece of webpage in whatever.
  2. Drag it onto Chandler.
  3. It now becomes a generic item.
  3. Assign attributes, put it into a context, attach it to other items, 
annotate it, index it, use it to generate other items, publish it to my 
blog, put it in an e-mail, send it to a friend via IM, etc...

Another use case besides webclipping has not been presented on this 
thread.  An embedded browser is implementation not application.  What 
other applications for an embedded browser are there?
