For whatever it's worth - in the 'Export HTML' file the hierarchy is
there, maybe not as nice as having
"type":"text/x-moz-place-container"
"type":"text/x-moz-place"
but it sure looks like one could keep track of the hierarchy:
<DT><H3 ...>folder 1</H3>
<DL><p>
. . . .
<DT><H3 ...>sub folder 1</H3>
<DL><p>
. . sub folder 1 contents. .
</DL><p>
. . . .
<DT><H3 ...>sub folder 2</H3>
<DL><p>
. . sub folder 2 contents . .
</DL><p>
. . remainder of folder 1 contents . .
</DL><p>

How, or are, you handling de-duplicating bookmarks? That's where I get stuck.
a bookmark here, the same bookmark there.. how does the program decide
which folder keeps the bookmark & which folder has the bookmark
removed?
Thanks,
