Another situation related to bookmarking is when a user's session has expired. ASP.NET will routed the browser to a login page, and the login page can get hold of the return URL (encoded in URL parameters) and redirect the user back to where it was.
I think the matter of URL support does require deeper considerations.

There are plenty of applications where login is not required - catalog listings, search engine etc. Bookmarkings was not available with conventional applications platform until the internet and web browser came along and we started developing applications on it. Now that the functionality is here and the users have gotten used to it and demanding it - the question is really whether we want to preserve it in JSF.

Bookmarking in real web applications, no matter being it jsf or non jsf is kindof problematic, you simply cannot really do it in a sane manner, to the the extensive usage of forms http post and other things. It does not make sense in most cases anyway, due to the fact that the user often has to go through extensive security layers often with a dedicated login page. In Webpages yes, but web applications are an entirely different issue, and probably having several dedicated bookmarking points with a dedicated filter to one of the points, in the application might be the way to go for you.
