[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Since bookmarks can be loaded from alternate files, there's also that. I
have shared a few "standardized" bookmark files and instructed how to load
them. One day, I'll look at bookmark.el to see how much trouble it would be
to graft together multiple bookmark-origin files into a single list and
still retain their origin for persistence.
