I guess so.

Last time we talked about it we thought it might be good to implement the 
bookmarks in sword because many of the frontends use them. The details of the 
implementation are not so important, but we must talk about what a "bookmark" 
is and what we should be able to do with it.

I'll start with some suggestions:
a) a key (from the module it was generated from)
b) delocalized version of that key (for people who don't have the original 
locale)
c) maybe a version of that key in the standard versification scheme, if there 
will be one
d) a description (?)
e) a caption
f) what is missing?
g) markup for d) and e)? ThML?

Bookmarks (esp. in bibles) should be transferrable to other locales (same 
module). And they should be transferrable to other modules (different 
versification schemes) still pointing to the correct location. And they 
should be in UTF-8. =)

Sword should provide the different parts of a bookmark as different members 
of a bookmark object.
There should be bookmark im- and export functions to the different markups 
like ThML. Maybe this will have to wait until 2.0?
