Is there a way to tell Safari to automatically use Reader when it recognizes an article which it is able to display with Reader?

Right now I have to manually click the Reader button at the right side of the address bar.

Try CMD + SHFT + R to save the effort of the precision mouse motion.

Yes, I know about that, but I wanted something automated and the "Readibility" bookmark as posted by Dori is absolutely bombastic, since it Safari Reader doesn't work on all sites. – senlamy Jan 11 '11 at 9:12

I've tried to figure this out myself, and haven't yet come up with a way to load safari-resource:/Reader.html programmatically.

If necessary, I fall back to Readability, the 3rd-party Safari add-on Apple used as their basis for Reader. Combined with Safari Stand, I can modify the appearance of pages when they load.
