[Sage] Sage and Live Bookmarks

[Fikri]

Live bookmarks are loaded after Firefox starts, so they don’t slow down startup of the browser!

I think it would be a lot more logical for sage to add feeds using the "feedurl" attribute instead
of the "href" attribute. Sage should also consider entries with the "hrefattribute as standard
bookmarks and try to load only bookmarks with the "feedurl" attribute.

This would have two MAJOR benefits:
  * feeds added through firefox would still be considered as readable feeds by Sage, and that the
feeds added through Sage would be considered as Live Bookmarks by Firefox.
  * Sage could than handle standard bookmarks and these could be mixed with the RSS feeds in the
folder scanned by Sage.  Therefore, you wouldn't have to maintain your regular bookmarks under
Firefox and a specific RSS Feeds folder for Sage ! Wouldn't it be nice? ;-)

I really don't see any reason why not to use that implementation?? The lack of such feature is the
only thing that prevents me from using Sage.

Could explain me how I could change the source code and rebuild a firefoxextension behaving that
way please?? (I already downloaded the source code from the CVS repository. I'm using Eclipse 3.1.2)
Thanks in advance. :-)

P.S: Thanks for your answer "too_much_green_tea" .
