There are other features that may be maleable to what you want:
html / Mozilla in the client: It is highly desirable that there be lsl calls to open browser windows to specific urls. This can be used in combination with an outside server to format and display data as in your example.

To me, requiring an outside server is partially defeating the purpose. I agree that having the option of using an outside server is Good[tm] -- in fact I really love the feature. But I also want to be able to create solutions that exist solely on the platform that is Second Life, without requiring that I have an outside server to do what should be a simple task.
A natural extension of this is allowing the lsl script to specify not just the url, but the actual html/text to be displayed. This more closely matches what you describe. One primary concern with notecard creation is fully automated asset creation, allowing an open webpage to be saved as an asset (be it 'notecard' or something else) by the viewer of the notecard may be a possibility for consideration, but has not yet been considered to my knowledge.
I would appreciate it if it could be forwarded to those that do such considering.
Having the ability to do something, like a llText2User(string title, string body) -- where it sends the text to the SL Client. The SL client displays the notecard interface with the title and text given. The text at this point is not a notecard and is not an asset. If the user selects "Save" they are prompted for a notecard name, and then it is saved to the user's inventory. If they select discard, the client discards the text (and no asset was created.)
This would work essentially, the same way as creating scripts in a prim. If you create an empty prim, edit it, go to the content tab -- select New Script. Then close that script without saving it, AFAIK no asset is ever created (at least none is ever listed in the prim's inventory.
Heh, guess this was more of a comment then a question. Please forward on to those that would consider / evaluate such things.
Thanks
