Plain record translator?
Let me preface by saying that I love this tool, and it has drastically improved the quality of my assignments this term.
Sometimes I'll be on a reference site that Zotero doesn't support, but that does export records in some standard format directly to the browser. If the entire text of a page consists of a BibTeX record or MARC record, I'd like to be able to get it into Zotero. There's no way to do that right now. Maybe a menu item that says "Detect citations in current page"? Maybe as a plugin or something?
(For an example, set Google Scholar to export to BibTeX and click on a BibTeX link for an article. The record will show up right in your browser (at least, on FF/Mac) and there will be no way to import it. I know Zotero works fine with Google Scholar, but that's not the case with every site)
