Agreed, but I'm _extremely_ wary of any enhancement that might reduce ease of use. As an example, the recently enhanced contextual menu of Diigolet is often less streamlined than in previous versions. I find myself having to move the mouse maybe twice as much as before. Ouch.

Agreed.
I think of the 'core' of Diigo as libary + network + groups with: * community to one side * snapshots beneath the core * meta above the core: between the core and the bookmarked page * Diigolet at the forefront: ON the bookmarked page.
To my eyes:
a) no part of the core allows focus on a single bookmark b) all parts of the core are multi-purpose for multiple bookmarks.
The absence, from the core, of a multi-purpose tool for a SINGLE bookmark i) means that use/positioning of features in the core is not 100% optimal; ii) leads me to focus much attention on the potential of Diigo Meta …
… and the absence of a sidebar from Diigo Meta brings that feature of Diigo into this topic.

* sidebar at left with Google Sidewiki
— but not confusing feature set of Sidewiki with feature set of Diigo
* overlay at right with bit.ly
* footbar (for want of a better expression) in Diigo Meta
* page comments always missing from a variety of Diigolet
— one that may be oriented to Diigo Meta, in which
drawing of highlights and sticking of notes is logically prevented
* all annotations missing from some annotated links
— maybe a dog food issue
* meta mixtures of public and group (sometimes private group) content
— keyword: aggregation

Borrowing from http://groups.diigo.com/group/Diigo_HQ/content/551239#19 (sorry for the spread across multiple topics):
>> collapsible sidebars at both left and right,
>> defaulting to one of the two collapsed at any one time
- in other words, seeing only one sidebar.
> sidebar similar to Bit.ly's
Would you like the sliding across of a sidebar to:
a) overlay (obscure) the page content
b) narrow and rewrap but not zoom the page content
c) narrow and zoom but not rewrap the content?
> Expose Meta information from Diigo (and other social networks)
+1
and a UI will require careful consideration of
a) how to not confuse the reader with a mixture of public + private content
b) what may be to come
- it's good that the current 4.0 is recognisably a beta
> Provide for in sidebar capture of the page
Capture as in, 'bookmark'?
(When I first read the word, I thought you meant snapshot, but then I read your last point.)
> Add the collect flash function to the bookmarklet
Would that be different from (less fiddly than) highlighting Flash content + nearby text?
> Add the snapshot function to the bookmarklet
+1 (obviously!)
and I'll be pushing a WebArchive tag more in the future …
+1

Keep the arguments coming :)
