This is also discussed on 
http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fBookmarksHistoryIntegration

but to make a long story short: I think there is little conceptual 
difference between a history and a bookmark item. A bookmark can be 
defined as a persistent history item, and a history item can be defined 
as a volatile bookmark.

There may still be a different UI geared towards different use cases 
("you know the bookmark title" vs "you only know you visited some site 
last Friday at lunchtime").
