The idea is to define cross-browser + cross-platform standard and
let the client use an tiny filesystem abstraction library with 9P
semantics (in fact most times just call an 9p or FUSE server
remotely or through an pipe). So the application once connects to
the fs (not necessarily mount it) and then entirely works within
there. The application has no idea how the data is actually stored.
This way, the bookmark storage is completely independent from the
client. You can use any client (which supports that ;)) on any
bookmark storage. Things like remote bookmarks, collaboration, etc
are completely hidden behind the bookmark server.
I've started writing some draft:

BTW: similar things could be done with mailboxes, too
(I'll write some bit about this later ...)
