I know, but the actual editing is a pain.  I don't want the extra 
bookmark toolbars, I don't want to have to keep figuring out where the 
bookmark that I want to edit (I ALWAYS remove the comments;  what kind 
of idiot thinks you need or want to put three extra lines of dumb stuff 
in your bookmark file?) is, which [thing] I need to expand to get to the 
bookmark I want, and where I want to move it to when I'm finished.

Not every change is an improvement -- if there is something better about 
this way I'd sure like to know what it is.
