Might not have the same turnover as the paste-trick but will definitely catch at least 50% of those the other method does. Though IE will warn the user that this is dangerous in step 1 but other browsers doesn't.
Bookmarklets are good but the security model is very fragile. A new concept of widgets has to be introduced in browsers. Kindof like IE8's "web-snippets" but with more power and some sandboxed interface between the widget and the current website. For power users and trusted widgets you should be able to disable the barriers completely to get the same functionality as today, but as opposed to today, this should require a user warning at least on bookmarklet install.
