Right now, "bookmarks" are not what we traditionally have used bookmarks for. A bookmark marks a place within a book, but a web bookmark marks the book, or a chapter within a book.
You may say a web page is a page, but if I'm working through a long and dense page I'd like to be able to mark and remember where on that page I was when I come back a day or few later. And as the article points out, I don't want to have to inspect the source for linkable parts that may or may not have been put there.
If there's no web standard for this in the future, it seems at least ripe for a browser addon.
