To just guess at events without the microformats is possible, but really difficult. You can see this in GMail where they try to provide a "Add to Calendar" link when they can recognize an event in your email, however even they can't be very accurate with it. But at least emails and links are structured such that you could easily detect them, but because of that there's usually already an action associated with them. Fixed the link, thanks!

Many things would not even be a guess, i.e. any email addresses, web links, etc. that are already known could be shown as action items in the appropriate categories of the operator tool bar. Also, your "Structured Blogging" link is slightly broken. Why not just have the operator plugin guess events or allow for user selection of text, links, etc. to be used for guessing.
