FWIW, XBEL is the nearest thing to a de facto standard for now. Both
Konqueror and Galeon interoperate using it. It is far from perfect but
it works reasonably well and is extensible.

Unfortunately, the Epiphany project decided to use their own proprietary
format.

As Marco has already pointed out, the easy part is agreeing in a file
format. The really hard part is sharing the bookmarks concurrently.
You'd need some kind of "bookmarks daemon" or only one app would be able
to open the bookmark file for updating.

Cheers,
Ricardo
