A conduit data provider for epiphany would be excellent to have!
Ideally that would mean I can scrap my epilicious plugin :-)

I've always thought that a dbus-based bookmark (and possibly history)
manager would make sense in GNOME.  I vaguely remember some mentions of
something along those lines on this list a while back.

I think currently the only way is to change bookmarks from "inside"
epiphany, i.e. in a plugin.

Sorry for not being of more help, I was mostly interested in letting you
know that your idea is worthwhile pursuing.
