I know this feature probaply won't make it into Camino, but I think it's worth a
thought.

When I used Firefox today, I thought that it's nice that using the "Live
Bookmarks" feature my del.icio.us bookmarks are always just one click away. Now
my feature idea for Camino is, that we take "Live Bookmarks" to the next logical
step, "Bookmarks To Go".
What I mean is basically what Cocoalicious already does, but I think my favorite
browser's bookmark pane is definitely the place where such things are supposed
to happen.

Camino should be able to create, edit, move and delete del.icio.us bookmarks
just like local bookmarks.

Personally, I'd prefer this instead of a Safari- or Firefox-like "diet"
implementation of RSS. Camino shouldn't be such a copycat.
Yes, Camino should definitely gain RSS support. But nothing less than a
NetNewsWire class aggregator. (I know I'm chellenging ;-)

I'm definitely suggesting WONTFIX. Integrating with online web services isn't
the best idea. RSS is a generic standard (as is Atom). But implementing this
feature would involve integrating del.icio.us into the browser. What if the
protocol is changed? What if the site goes down? There are so many "what ifs"
that it doesn't seem worth it.

Recommending WONTFIX. Keeping alive for discussion.

yeah, i don't think we should tie ourselves to edge-case bookmark tools that may
go away in a year.
