Help with adding RDFa .js library support in Tabulator?

Hi RDFa fans,

I was chatting with TimBL in IRC earlier, and asked what it would take 
to add RDFa support to Tabulator. Tabulator is a Firefox addon that adds 
generic RDF navigation capabilities to the browser.

It doesn't sound like a massive task. More a question of clue code and a 
bit of engineering.

the notes, copied here too:

timbl: Anyone feel like adding it into Tabulator
danbri: Can you outline where it would plug in?
timbl: Not obviosu which bits one needs
danbri: Is it easy to re-build the installation XPI? (do they need to be 
signed etc for Firefox 3?)
timbl: The tabulator extension is not signed, .. we couldn't wrap our 
heads round that though it would be a good thing to do. Signing tools 
not obvious
danbri: If someone provides you with an rdfa js function that took an 
url, and returned triples ... how should that work? eg. what 
representation of triples, ...?
timbl: If I give it the DOM root element of an HTML web page, and a 
pointer to a store in which to store the triples, it should parse the 
RDFa out.
timbl: As a title triple is added at line 96 of sources.js in tabulator
timbl: For developing tabulator, you can make yorufirefox use te version 
cheked out in SVN.

thanks!
