Yes it should be a setting configurable by itself.

Yes that would be a good place for it in the Options dialog, but it should also
be in the View menu.

Yes you are correct that Word has it, but it isnt on by default and you have to
go into its options dialog to turn it on. I've attached a screenshot of how it
looks when its bookmarked at the beginning and end of a line as well as on a
selection.

Placing it in the text would cause it to mix with other stuff, e.g. comments,
and would result in it not looking good, i assume thats why its turned off by
default in ms word. Also bookmarks in html documents can only be positioned at
the beginning of a line. The main point of the marker in the margin would be to
let you know that there is a bookmark on that line. Never used bookmarks before
trying them out in google docs and presentation of it was very user friendly
and quite easy to understand.
