Good and convenient, but not my ideal solution...

How about being able to highlight a section of text,
and with a right click, being able to select from a
number of menu options to force a formatting, ie copy
as url, or copy as address, or copy as
event/appointment.

This is what Syncplicity does, takes highlighted piece
of text, and drops it into the Palm Desktopin the
appropriate format, ie address, or phone number, or
time/date.
