Two things, first I thought the "keywords" field was analogous to the
keywords meta tag in an html doc. Obviously it is not so please ignore
this part of the original question.

Second, it is actually the "description" field I am most interested
in, and I should have been more explicit and descriptive. So here
goes:

 My bookmarks go back to 1994 or so. Most of them are probably dead,
but a few are still alive and kicking and I don't want to throw them
out unnecessarily. The ones that are still around usually just have a
different page url or domain name. If the description field was
populated with data I would have something to search with to determine
if the site was well and truly vanished (or still interesing enough to
try and find again). See this blue-sky essay for a perfect example:

So, I don't want to find myself in 2005 looking at the urls marked in
'02 and wondering where they heck they are. If all the urls saved from
this point forward had descriptions the task would be easier. Ideally
the "Add Bookmark" dialog would have a description field in addition
to the current "Name" and "Location" fields. The description would be
pre-filled with either 1) header meta description tag, if it exists,
or 2) the first ~30 words of the page, or 3) an option to grab the
description from OpenDirectory.org or similar.
