My comments are on the discussion page, now.  Specifically, I think
the proposed bookmarks implementation is overkill for such a simple
feature.  In another direction, doing highlighing by really parsing
the syntax of a file versus the current regex based approach seems
a bit heavy IMO, too.

Aren't they providing their code under GPL (plus nedit's Motif
exception)?
