[Camino] bookmarks viewer preview feature concept

[S. Woodside]

It seems like a good idea to me -- why not store the information for  
when the bookmark was first saved?

Of course if this is something that needs to be implemented in  
Mozilla then I guess it needs to be there. But actually I think that  
the bookmarks code is 100% cocoa and doesn't use the moz bookmarks  
stuff.
