This is very cool. One thing that should be noted is that it _may_ be necessary to install the "Apple Data Detectors" extension in order to get full use out of the plug-in. The ADD lets the contextual menu manager get the text selection from text editors that are not CMM savvy. You can get the ADD extension by installing the Internet Data Detectors package from Apple's web and ftp sites. I haven't tried the plug-in without the extension, but if it isn't working for you, you probably need the ADD extension.
