My understanding was that sites are responsible for showing the picker interface for users to select actions. That is what I oppose. If a user wants to have "bookmark this" and "post to reddit" buttons in a certain place, should he modify his UA to expose a bookmarking API to all websites, email authors of all websites he may read and ask them to add both "bookmark this" and "post to reddit" to the place of choice in disregard for the preferences of other readers of the websites. I don't want any buttons visible while I'm reading text or watching pictures. I've got a menu button for when I need them. Another user might want buttons to appear when he has scrolled through all the page. A third user on a wide screen might want a load of always-visible buttons in a sidebar. The code that places and shows buttons has to be reused, so device makers can optimize it for their input and output devices and users configure it to their liking. -- -,Bjartur
