There already is a draft for this effort:

	http://devel.emmanuelebassi.net/papers/bookmark-spec.html

I'm currently reviewing it for some rough edges, and any help is much
appreciated (I'm lacking proper at least for this month).

You should also read these threads:

On the Gnome side, I'm currently working on the integration of the
Recently Used Resources inside Gtk; bookmarks to recently used resources
would use this spec for storing URIs and their metadata:

I've already written a parser using GLib and libxml2, and you can find
it here:

 Emmanuele.
