Basically, google removes things it doesn't consider as active sites from the rss feed gmarks uses. It does, however, leaves these in the xml feed.
It removes javascript: links, links to local servers (that google can't see), etc Gmarks still uses the rss feed instead of the xml feed because the xml feed doesn't include certain things, like the bookmark's description.
