Hmm...
How about a good but basic standalone bookmark manager. Ideally one that stored its data in a text or xml file. Most of the old ones have either disappeared or are no longer actively developed. Or they have everything plus the kitchen sink included. I'd just be looking for folders in a tree, the site name, site URL, description/note field, and maybe be allowed some category tags. Hot key popup and the ability to capture the URL of whatever page is currently displayed in the browser would be a definite plus.

i just had a 30 minute discussion on this yesterday!
I totally support this idea. I'll add:
simple syncing with all devices and browsers, ideally no plugins needed.
And this feature, which is very unrealistic, but would be awesome:
ability to search ONLY in your bookmarks for keywords. Or just the sites that are bookmarked. Man, I would love that.

I would like to add too:
syncing with online services: pinboard, diigo or xmarks
