Very important (and seemingly) necessary upgrades to the technology. I
assume with the markers, that it's then up to the designer to "mark" the
spots that are bookmarkable? Like defining anchors on a page that links
around itself? That seems like it still may miss some of the typical use of
bookmarking pages. Though I'm not sure I can explain that, my gut reaction.
