Actually,it _would_ be hacking if Netscape's code weren't public, as it is
now.  "Open source" means just that; the code is freely available for
alteration.  Guess we could just go and create the Chinook version, once we
settle on orthography and terminology......

An aside: the one thing _I'd_ like to see in Netscape bookmarks is on the
"Add Bookmark/File Bookmark/Edit Bookmarks" thing on the top toolbars - an
addition that allows you to "Remove Bookmark"; either the one instance, or
any repetitions; I hate having to open Edit Bookmarks and search for
defunct ones; better to easily delete them when you run across
them......maybe it's in the beta version 5.0, I don't know.
