Maybe KBookmark could just be a small API backed by plugins?

This would allow us to tackle bookmark provision "the other way round", so we 
could

- use different providers, thereby hook into what's there on a given system
- use Nepomuk as a backend (we use Nepomuk for browser bookmarks in Plasma 
  Active
- hook into Chrome and Firefox bookmarks (at least read-only), we have code 
  for this in KRunner
- it'd let us get away for KBookmarks itself with minimal dependencies

I imagine KBookmark being a more service-like thing, rather than a mechanism 
to store and read bookmarks.
