You should be aware that the HTML format for bookmarks is a standard 
developed back in the day by Netscape. It goes back to the early 1990s, 
I think. The FF folks will not be modifying it, since all browsers know 
how to generate it and consume it, and who knows how many software 
packages consume it.  No one can afford to have a change, even one 
that's supposed to be harmless, inadvertently break software that's 
worked for years.

They are going to need a lot of persuading.

Maybe there's something else they would be willing and able to do.  But 
you can expect that any proposed new feature will probably need to have 
some strong support.  Raymond Chen at Microsoft has written how each new 
feature proposal starts off with -100 points.  Only if the advantages 
get the score up above zero can the feature have any chance of getting 
adopted - and then it has to compete with other potential features that 
have their own scores.

You're welcome.
