The whole idea of using the cookie (or better, exposing the cookie in an
easy way for other plugins to consume) is to provide a better experience
for people that uses lots of google services. Google provides a 'Single
Sign On' mechanism for it's services, and I think that, if the idea is
to 'merge' epiphany on the cloud, that the way to go (for google). ON
the future, it will be possible to implement more google-based plugins,
all using the same login (instead of requiring a separete login/pass for
each service). I personally think that this way we can provide a better
experience to the user.

No , I don't. Google did not release any official documentation for
google bookmarks. But, it is quite easy to use (I did the same as you
for finding the API). 

I like epilicious and del.icio.us , but, we don't have an alternative
for people that _dont_ use delicious. I know lots of people that don't
use epiphany mainly because it does not have google toolbar. I like the
idea of integrating google services with the browser, I personally use a
lot of them, and that would  make my life easier, and, I think, that's
the main point for GNOME and that's why I like epiphany: keep it simple
and easy . That's my target audience.
