I'm sure part of what Eben was referring to (but I don't mean to speak  
for him) was extending the information in the secondary mouse over  
Journal palette, so you have more information to act on without  
needing to dig down into the details view (which seems to be rarely  
used to my knowledge). Here's a quick mock-up:

It could also include such things as a list of tags as shown in  
Christians recent mockups (Subject UI mockups 19/08/2009), here's a  
quick screen grab from page 8 of his pdf showing the description and  
some tags:

For those paying attention, notice also the 'pre-lite' rounded  
rectangle rollover treatment, as seen in the home favourite view.  
Something for 0.88 perhaps ;-) I'm also interested that Christian used  
an 'X' for the Erase icon rather than the '-' sign, not sure if that  
was intentional or not given the current design.

Note of caution: We do have to be careful not to overload this  
palette, it already feels like it is asking to many questions, so we  
have to watch we don't over cook things.
