That's basically what the link above does -- hard to read in compressed
form. :-).
The server sends an arbitrarily script that's inserted and executed in the
document that the user is currently viewing. The inserted script does the
real work.
The marklet parameter is issued per user, for security/manageability. And
the server issued script is inserted into the head not the body to handle
frameset documents.
I suppose I could combine the requested script and marklet parameter into a
bitly url, but I'm not sure it'd save much. The script insertion code needs
to remain as part of the url so the browser will execute it without
navigating to a new page.
