=== Comments from piers7 (just a random user) ===
It seems to me from the POV of a user that one of the most important things to consider is not the implementation, it's the interface.
One of my big gripes with Firefox is keeping my bookmarks in sync with IE. To this task there's been a whole host of extensions written, of varying calibre, all of which miss the holy grail of making both browsers '''just share the same store'''. I'm thinking of a simple strategy pattern where the default 'NetscapeBookmarkStore' was swappable with an 'IEFavoratesStore' and a whole host of others (eg '3rdPartyNetworkBasedBookmarkStore' etc...)
Unified Storage may simplify matters for the developers, but it's an extensible, modular, plugable storage architecture that'll ultimately deliver the most benefit to the end users.
