Here's one thing I hate about bookmarks. They aren't. Bookmarks. They don't keep your place in the middle of a long work. They only, and always, point to the beginning of a work, not inside it, unless the author has made internal anchors and exposes them.

I'd like bookmarks to be bookmarks.

I'd also like bookmarks to keep track of what they have pointed to. So a bookmark might show you that it has pointed to paragraphs 10, 22, 39, and the current 44. Cause it'd be nice to be able to go back to paragraph 22 as a reference.

And a bookmark should have notes. Firefox bookmarks have properties/notes accessible on right-click; I imagine clever people could expand that.

Heck, why not make them queryable by sql?
