Yes, that is great - and I will most likely use it, but being able to drag &
drop an XBEL file in to TB would be even lovelier :-)

You can, for example, use a plug-in (bookmarks synchroniser) to maintain an
updated xbel file (e.g. on a home ftp server). ON your local TB it would be
nice to have an auto refreshing note for it - so it gets treated a bit like
a RSS feed does. And is always updated when you get home and carry on
working, as one does :-(
