Autodiscovering OpenURLs
OpenURL defines a URL syntax using the HTTP GET request format that allows users to pass bibliographic information to an OpenURL resolver and retrieve a published article. (See also

There have recently been all manner of postings in the blogosphere about COinS (ContextObjects in Spans), which seeks to embed OpenURL data in a <span> statement to support straightforward OpenURL Autodiscovery, such as autodiscovery via a bookmarklet.
I like this idea - almost a lot - but can't help feeling a true microformat approach would offer more potential (similarly for Dublin Core).
Just in passing, this conversation appears to offer a history of COinS, and this early post sought a way of embedding OpenURL info in Dublin Core metadata.
