No reason not to...

Just out of curiosity, I tried importing the sample file as a bookmarks.xml, as a bookmarks.txt, and as a bookmarks.html file. The only difference among the three was the file extension. Our importer only dealt with the .html version, and was unable to import anything that way (no real surprise there).

Actually, that's JSON; all the cool kids are doing it (see bug 152147 comment 76) :P

bug 505192 is the firefox equivalent of this bug.

In discussions about the iCab import/export patch:

<sauron> if we were to add another export format, it should be Chrome

Makes sense to do both at once, although if someone comes along and only wants to tackle import (which definitely takes priority), we can split export into another bug then.

I might have time to look at this soon-ish, but no promises.
