microsummaries don't seem to work on trunk now that places are disabled

this is spun off from bug #353571 comment 21 from dao.

dao, can you elaborate?
Blocks: 353571
Well, I have a bookmark whose location is "http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/Status". And I have this microsummary generator located at [profile-folder]/microsummary-generators/firefox-3-status-meeting.xml:

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
> <generator xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/microsummaries/0.1" name="Firefox 3 Status Meeting">
>   <pages>
>     <include>http://wiki\.mozilla\.org/Firefox3/Status</include>
>   </pages>
>   <template>
>     <xsl:transform xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
>       <xsl:output method="text"/>
>       <xsl:template match="/">
>         <xsl:text>Fx3 </xsl:text>
>         <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(string(id('mainContent')/h1), '-')"/>
>       </xsl:template>
>     </xsl:transform>
>   </template>
> </generator>

With Places, I could select this microsummary in the bookmark's properties. That's not possible anymore.

Just tested with Bon Echo and it's the same: I see no UI for microsummaries; neither at the bookmarks' properties nor when creating a new bookmark. So I'm confused. It could be that this bug is invalid. But then I don't know how microsummaries are supposed to work without Places.

Ok, you can mark this bug invalid. I got it. The UI is different from Places (less discoverable IMHO), but it's there. I was using microsummaries with Places from the beginning, so this difference was new to me.
marking as invalid, per dao last comment.
