Well favorites shouldn't be available from the spacial nautilus window for 
the same reason bookmarks are not. In addition why not use a folder 
interface for managing "favorites"? Nearly every bookmarks implementation 
I've seen (the exception to some degree is epiphany) reimplements the file 
manager in its bookmarks editor. 

Beyond this I think it would be good to work with marco to develop a 
gnome-wide desktop bookmark implmentation so that you can access all your 
bookmarks (file, folder, web pages, a bookmark is a bookmark is a bookmark) 
from one place using one implementation instead of creating yet another 
interface.[1]
