oops, one more thing: It appears that for pages collected using the bookmarklet, license information is not recorded or included. I don't particularly want a copy of the GFDL any more than references, but a notice to that effect would be nice.
*looks at the API* hm... bizarrely, I don't see the license info being one of the API parameters. Did I miss it or is it a bug?
