Google provides a QR code generator, too.

http://code.google.com/apis/chart/types.html

Perhaps, the script could be modified to randomly or cyclically choose between Nokia and Google, to balance the load. I think this is the way the Google string would have to be scripted:
var dst = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=qr&chl=' + escape(src.href) + '&choe=UTF-8&chs=100x100';

There is a script by Brian Short at http://userscripts.org/topics/23121 which generates the code for the current page.

Nice idea. Providing a QR of the currently loaded page would be also nice, since one normally finds a page interesting by first inspecting it, and then decides to capture its url, same way as with bookmarks. The page's code could be displayed when the mouse nears the edge of the page, or upon pressing some key combination, of even through a GM menu command or ordinary bookmarklet.

cool script! havent tried it yet. i was just thinking of writing a similar script, i had in mind a script that added a button or link above textareas that would let you type in some text or a url and have it converted to a barcode, would be useful for posting links relevant to mobile users, or for posting "secret" messages, only people with barcode reader apps could read :) before attempting to write the script, luckily i checked if someone hadnt already done something similar, dont think i will bother writing my script now. but if you want to use my idea, feel free :)
