[Camino] URL History information - exact dates?

[Jim Witte]

  I assume the information displayed by the History potion of the 
bookmark manager is kept by the Mozilla trunk code, and not by the 
Camino specific part.  Does the history store anything more than just 
the URL, page name, and day - specifically, does it store the time of 
day it was accessed?  This would be useful in some situations (you 
looking for something you know you access at a particular time, or 
around the time you access another thing you can do a search for).

  Although if this isn't kept by the trunk code, it would require a 
change to the trunk, and I'd think increase the size of the history 
file by a lot, unless some clever time-encoding scheme were used - 
perhaps minutes since last page view if less than 255 - that keeps it 
down to a byte, or a full date-stamp if greater than that - with the 
first byte's high/low bit (not used in the 1-255 minute encoding, and 
made to not be used in the full date encoding) to keep track of which 
scheme was used.  This of course would mean that the full date history 
would have to be rebuilt each time.  And there may be better ways to 
store dates out there..  (If anyone knows anything particularly good, 
email me?  I'm interested academically as well as for the possibility 
of ways to put it into Camino)
