Why does it need a semi-colon at the end of the line if the
language is JavaScript ?
Because it's not actually a random JS file (...)

You sure the ; is not needed by the sqlite database. If the export goes
to the database and creates the html from it, sql statements(command
line) usually end in ; at least on MySQL they do.
I don't know what you're talking about. David, Philip and me were
talking about the syntax of prefs.ps. That discussion is not at all
related to bookmarks, places.sqlite, or import/export thereof. I just
mentioned bookmarks.html as an additional example of a file that is
written by a machine but still somewhat human-readable.
That said, a semicolon in SQL is only needed if you have more than one
query (i.e. as a separator) or the client requires it (like the command
line mysql client in interactive mode). As far as Mozilla-based software
is concerned, I don't know of any part of a shipped product that imports
or exports SQL. SQL (and SQLite) is only used internally (for Places,
mostly).
