Thanks for your interest Andreas.

Xpath will not be supported for now. And no, everything is parsed by the 
server before returning it to your wiki. No browser messaging used. Spares 
me of worrying about future browser vendor support ;-)

Another reason for this design choice is:

1. You can possibly do bulk scraping operations across the web (the server 
will do most of the hardwork for you)
2. Simplicity (just drop the url that points to the resource to scrape)
3. Accessible to mobile phones because not everyone uses Firefox for mobile 
phones. So no add-ons there.
