In the screen shot below, there's a large red ring around a fuzzy area within the Services menu:
In the ringed area, imagine services such as:
* Add to lists (Diigo) * All annotations (Diigo) * Bookmark (Diigo) * Copy bookmark to groups (Diigo) * Get annotated link (Diigo) * Read later (Diigo) * Save WebArchive of linked file (Diigo) * Send (Diigo)
Think beyond the browser! From any application that presents a hyperlink we should be able to access these Diigo services, and more :-)
This is thinking for a mid- to long-term future. Not a priority suggestion.
System Services have been around since 2002.
Mac OS X 10.6 (forthcoming, around September 2009) offers significant improvements to System Services, including a Services submenu to the contextual menu.
If you want Services in a submenu (and more) in Mac OS X 10.5.x or earlier, I recommend ICeCoffEE.

Incidentally, in those examples there's some overlap between Services and the platform-independent WebArchive format. http://www.wuala.com/grahamperrin/public/2009/06/25/webarchive/ for a glimpse of how applications pass data to and fro in this format, http://www.diigo.com/list/grahamperrin/webarchive?v=p for work in progress.
