If that's true, what is the point of a named destination without a bookmark?

An anchor point in the document that can be pointed to directly from outside, so that a browser can jump to it when the named destination is appended to the base URL... There does not have to be a bookmark *in* the document that points to that destination.

To elaborate a bit further, with named destinations one could roughly do the following:

in somedoc.fo:

<fo:block id="chapter1a" fox:destination="true">
...
  <fo:basic-link external-destination="./other-doc.pdf#chapter2b">
  ...

in other-doc.fo:

<fo:block id="chapter2b" fox:destination="true">
...
  <fo:basic-link external-destination="./somedoc.pdf#chapter1a">
  ...


You don't need bookmarks for that.
