Hi Thorsten, hi List,

it seems that you understood my idea: considering bookmarks as a 
special form of content and implementing a system to manage this kind 
of content.

I guess, if the system is in use, you don't have to import very often 
bookmarks. Most additions occure while browsing on a one by one 
level. However, to start using the application, you need to set up 
quickly a first set of bookmarks. So an easy way to import the 
bookmarks of one browser will do best in this case (IE and Mozilla 
are both able to export an html file which should be "importable"). 
To avoid implementing AI <g>, in a first version, importing bookmarks 
from just one browser will be enough (might avoid some dublicated 
enteries; dublicated enetries are a challenge anyhow).

Actually I consider the need for an export interface with higher 
priority. But, I've to think about it...
