Hi Alan,

The bookmark is just a way to mark an arbitrary contiguous portion
of the document by a user defined name, I suppose in this respect
it is like the <a></a> construction. However, there are potential
problems with the <a> </a> construct if you want to mark a portion
of document that spans across containers, e.g.,
<section><p><c>some text</c><a><c> some more
text</c></p></section><section><p><c>some text</c></a><c>
more text</c></p></section> would probably confuse the parser.
With the bookmarks in place, hyperlinks should be quite simple to
implement, all that is needed is a mechanism to mark a portion of
text as a hyperlink associated with a particular bookmark, and
excecute the jump when the text is clicked upon. I will look into
this.
Tomas
