The bookmark export file is not valid HTML or XML, where either could be easily
used without resorting to an underdocumented HTML variant.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Export a bookmark file
Actual Results:
A file was saved as ".html", though it was clearly not XHTML, HTML, or even XML.
A nonsensical !DOCTYPE was given, multiple root elements (and no "head" element)
were used, upper- and lower-case elements were mixed, character entities were
not used, proprietary attributes were used, and end tags were missing.
Expected Results:
A valid XHTML or XML file.
A custom XML !DOCTYPE could be used, but XHTML may also be possible by using a
"ol" (distinguising heirarchy from tab-set with the "class" attribute, storing
the name of the ) list to collect "a" elements.
The "title" attribute can be used as the storage for the bookmark description,
"id" can be used to store the bookmark keyword, etc.

this is a old standard format (NS4.X).
And ALWAYS search before you file a bug. VERY EASY to find dupe.

This does seem to duplicate that issue, but I *DID* search, and I would not say
it was "VERY EASY to find dupe" based on the title "Mozilla should support XBEL
-- the XML Bookmark Exchange Language". (My search terms were "bookmark export".)
