No. Bookmarks mark a web PAGE, just as a real bookmark marks a page in a book. Unless a site is very poorly designed, the web SITE and web PAGE are not the same thing, and the bookmark can be used to mark a specific page on a site. Having it save the scrollbar locations would be more like a PostIt note marking what line on what page you stopped reading.. A kind of bookmark, sure, and more specific than the typical type which just lets you know what page you were on, but that doesn't make a page bookmark any less of a bookmark.
