It occurs to me that, since keywords (and tags, once bug 1039200 lands) are associated with URLs and not bookmarks, Sync can reconcile them separately. Currently, changing a tag on one device, and a tagged bookmark's title or URL on another, will throw away the new tags because we treat the tags as part of the bookmark. Storing a last modified timestamp for tags and keywords would allow Sync to merge them without querying `moz_bookmarks` for the bookmark info.
Summary: Consider adding a `lastModified` field for keywords and tags → Consider adding a `lastModified` column for keywords and tags
I went with a different approach for bug 1305563, so I don't think this makes sense anymore...unless other consumers besides Sync want to know when a keyword or tag was modified.

Note that while tags will (and are) associated to urls in the schema, they will always be set along (and just for) bookmarks. That is not going to change. Indeed we are thinking to merge the tagging API into the Bookmarks.jsm API in bug 1039200. The keywords change was required because we actually plan to completely remove them and rather transform them into custom search engines.
