The first thing the browser needs to do is make the user aware that
it's there, maybe by displaying a little icon next to the cursor on
hover. The browser can then give the user a CHOICE of actions on right
click. In the case of a hcard they COULD be:
- Compose a new mail
- Add it to you address book
- Map the location
- Dial the number
- Display the local time
- Forward as vCard
