s-control as bookmarklet?

I'm pondering the idea of creating an AJAX-based s-control and then launching it via a 'bookmarklet' link in the browser.  I'm wondering if anyone has tried this, and if there are any pitfalls to watch out for, tips to try, etc.

The motivation is that there are so few places in the SFDC UI where one can put a link to an s-control.  Basically your options are limited to object "view" screens, and splash pages.  I'm thinking that if I have a function I want to be able to run while editing a record, or viewing a report, a bookmarklet might be the best way.

What say you?

Check out Ian's cool work with Gmail integration. He's not using an S-Control in the bookmarklet, but he does what you'd need to do: fire off the bookmarklet, log in to sf.com, and then perform some actions there.
