I have a great many different 'categories' of things in my bookmarks,
and mostly I don't WANT to share 'em between browsers.
I should just start a local blog so I can post the url, add a short
paragraph describing it, and then use google to look 'em up.

I've seen "identify redundant bookmarks" somewhere, but I don't remember
quite where. I want to say opera.
Of course, there's always
grep HREF bookmarks.html \
| sed -e 's/ *<DT><A HREF="//' -e 's/" ADD_DATE.*$//' \
| sort | uniq -c | grep -v '^ *1 ' | awk '{print $2}'
...and then manually go back through to identify the duplicates.

I'm sure there's a perl script that will do this already.
