The Web Localizer is an attempt to create a framework that takes web resources that are not written or intended for your use or community and rewrites them so they can work within your controlled environment. The goal is to extend the library (or any service, group, community or individual that can define its relation to other objects on the web) into the places and interfaces that people are already using (and probably are not "endorsed" or "supported" by the library). Google Scholar or Elsevier's Scirus are perfect examples of these sorts of services. The creators don't actually care if the user has access to the asset that a particular link points to, that is for the user and content provider to work out.
