Whilst Safari may not lend itself to toolbars in the traditional sense, it may be possible to add sidebar features - comparable to those offered by Diigo toolbar for Firefox - to Safari and/or other WebKit-based browsers.
Diigo Sidebar | This URL | Annotations is IMHO an aspect of Diigo with huge potential and it's this that I would like to be most prominent in a Safari sidebar.
Annotations are probably not used most effectively, at this time, by Diigo users; only because people aren't drawn to the annotations interface with sufficient ease/immediacy. The three steps is debatably a disincentive.
Exemplary approaches to sidebars in Safari include those found here:
FWIW I make greatest use of Saft (though paradoxically, not the sidebar features of Saft; only because I have no need of them).
(Cross reference where David.P expresses a direct approach to the third step.)

As Diigo is already recognised as an excellent tool for research and collaboration, I wonder whether any resource associated with those EU projects might be steered towards development of an open source approach to richer interaction between (a) Diigo and (b) WebKit-based browsers…
OmniGroup are renowned for good use of UI features of Mac OS X - OmniWeb http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/ demonstrates sidebar thumbnails of tabs within a browser window - but that type of thing will be less portable to (say) Chrome.

I can't recall exactly the URLs that were lost from this thread but the main one would have been

For the record, my thoughts over the past two months have shifted:
* from integration (improvements that might be specific to Chrome or Safari)
* to complements (applications, services and widgets that should be more useful than a sidebar).
I use the expression 'widget' with hesitation. Related to widgets, there are a few preconceptions that should be set aside.

For my own purposes: I'm now treating this topic as closed.
If any reader, now or in the future, wishes to pick up a sidebar-focused baton: please, go ahead :)
