Excellent summary. Regarding number 2, how do you think the context problem could be solved? The application can save the tab history of how you got to the page, but then you would need to install a plugin and possibly send navigation info to an online service. Or you could add a note to the saved bookmark, but now it requires some of your time.

If other bookmarks were saved say 3 hours either side, show them in a slider style.

Granted, not every bookmark will be "next to" others, but it many cases this would give a good sense of context.

"Hmmmm a page on Google analytics... I wonder why I saved that.... oh yeah! That was just after bookmarking this page about 'Best tracking systems for WP blogs'"

Just add a note (free text field) for the context. nothing fancy.
