Actually, I think Mathew Link brings up a point that could lead to a very cool feature. What if hovering triggered a thumbnail of the page to appear? A thumbnail system is already in place, and is accessible via a simple URL. I, too, find that text is a bit cumbersome. I'm a big fan of the refined half-taskbar, half-dock in Windows 7; I'd live to see something similar done to the bookmark toolbar. There'd be room for more bookmarks, and usability would be increased as a result of the clutter-free interface.
