What has me somewhat surprised is that any of these bookmarks ever get put into
files users actually read or edit in the first place. It might make better
sense for edsharp to maintain its own database of files with bookmarks in them
separate from files being edited themselves. The path; file name, line number
and column number along with either a <last> tag which would tell edsharp this
is the last place a user read the file and maybe another tag like <22<update>>
could be used to tell edsharp this is a user created tag called update the user
wants to pull up when searching for that later, and it's tag number 22 in this
particular file. Perhaps user names of editors/readers could also be stored in
that data base along with who is authorized to read/edit that file as well,
along with a date stamp and version control number. At that point, edsharp
might start to endanger Microsoft SharePoint.

I see James' point about it being like a real bookmark, but I would
also like to see it as an option that could be toggled. It would not
only be good for long documents, but for code; what if you leave a
file for a week or so, come back, and do not remember where you were?
One forgotten bookmark can mess everything up, and it is such a simple
step that it seems like it would be easy enough to integrate. Of
course I could be completely wrong on that one.
Also, regarding bookmarks, it would be helpful to be able to add notes
to bookmarks. For example, I bookmark a few functions, and with each
bookmark Edsharp reads text I wrote about the given function, like
"fix this one first".
