The reason I like the idea of using org as the central store is that it holds a lot of information, including annotations (headline body text), subheadings, tags, properties, etc. Possibly even last-modified date of the web page and last-synced. It can also be subsetted using the agenda. The idea would be that when you, say, save all Firefox tabs that are currently open to a Firefox bookmark folder, you can export that whole folder to org. Then, you can add annotations, move the headlines anywhere in the agenda files hierarchy, export from org to w3m or Firefox or Safari (using the agenda to subset), and reimport back to org without losing the annotations (new browser tabs (web pages) that org does not know about yet end up in a special place in the org hierarchy while existing ones sync with existing headlines). Can the emacs bookmark mechanism serialize all that org data? If not, perhaps org would be a good place to store everything. Maybe we have different ideas, which deserve different implementations?
