Hmm... you mean saving the actual login URL as a bookmark ?  Wouldn't that
break if the submission URLs change ?  You would also be sending login info to
an incorrect location.  One of the big issues with bookmarks is that the URL can
change.  Also we have to do a POST action on most of these logins which means
we also have to remember the POST data, don't we ?
