Starring is used to select bookmarks for bulk operations (add tag/make private/mark as unread etc.)

Hm, wouldn't plain checkboxes suffice? That's a pretty entrenched convention. Not to mention that using stars in that way doesn't really mesh with that convention either. Is there some aspect of it I'm missing?
