    I don't think bookmarks and favorites are really the same. Favorites are 
    Applications that you want to launch directly, where bookmarks are places

On OSX favorites is a vfolder-like thing that can contain anything; your
files, folders or app launchers. And you can add a toolbar button for it
in the finder window. You can File-> Add to Favorites from the menu.
There is also a favorites menu.

OSX finder toolbar has by default (IIRC) "(my) Computer", "Home" and 
"Programs" buttons, but you can add a Favorites -one.

I guess we could merge bookmarks and favorites as they sort of do the
same thing. 

I would be happy to try how the "favorites in toolbar" works in
practice. It probably would be an useful thing for collecting important
things together. But I dont know how to add it there. Adding a button by
patching the xml files was easy, but what "verb" does favorites: use? So
far I got a button, but it does nothing :-)
