Using a very simple tab-indented outline that I maintain with VimOutliner adorned Vim, plus a conversion app, I have hundreds of bookmarks, organized just the way I want them. If I want to change the organization, I do some cutting and pasting on my outline and recompile. Every browser I use has a link called "littlinks", and clicking it brings up my link hierarchy. In the past I've even tweaked my desktop's Apache so any computer within the house could pull up my links page at http://192.168.100.2/littlinks. On any browser, including elinks. I did this for the exact reason you state: To keep my bookmarks from being held hostage by particular software. If a lot of you want this, I'll slap a free software license on it and release it.
