The source of things

Over at the lazyWeb, there's a call for bookmarks remembering their referrer. I've looked into this for Mozilla and found that the RDF assert system is only set up to commit and load known attributes.  Shouldn't be hard to turn this into a for-i-in scenario.

We could trace this with Mozilla APIs if referrer were kept in history, per the spec (bug).

Only storing referrer for bookmarks would reduce the amount of data incurred, at the cost of related context..  The source of a page of interest might be several pages back in the referrer chain. |||
