This may be an incredibly stupid suggestion, but here goes...

How about if gmarks was redesigned to work with http://www.google.com/notebook/
in the sidebar and in an ordinary browser tab?

The http://www.google.com/notebook/ interface works sort of like
"Organize gmarks". The interface is slick and it seems that you can
give your bookmarks rich text Comments. I haven't used the rich text
stuff and I don't know the difference between Notes and Comments. I
have avoided that stuff since I certainly don't want *more* problems
with my bookmarks.

If gmarks worked with the google.com/notebook/ page:

= gmarks could work with the address bar and with keyword searches.

= greasemonkey scripts could be written for gmarks (like greasemonkey
scripts work with greader) since it would be an add-on working -
basically - in an ordinary window.

= it would be easy to "skin" the page with a Stylish Style.

In frustration at only being able to use half my bookmarks with gmarks
I wrote a quick Style. It *was* designed for a http://www.google.com/notebook/
bookmark opening in the sidebar:

In strips everything away but the labels. Compared to gmarks - it's
hideous. Also it can only be a visual demo.

I had a good laugh at myself when I realized that it is *impossible*
for it to work. Everything other than labels is hidden. And even if
the stuff wasn't hidden - there would be no way for the stuff to be
displayed in a tab since a Style isn't a programming language.

But couldn't gmarks simply get the sidebar to "talk" to a browser tab?

The following Style *does* work - in a single tab. The "label area" is
sort of like the sidebar. It's height is annoying low so I made height
100%. If the label area could somehow be detached and put into the
sidebar - you'd have something that would be immediately ready to use.
