 * Planned improvements

+** TODO Make URLs the basic address type.
+Currently I waste a lot of effort converting between
+URL and non-URL representations.  This is unnecessary, and
+actually makes lots of things uglier.
+
+For example, the bookmarks file contains addresses in Elpher's
+internal representation, whereas I expect users would prefer
+it contain URLs.
+
+So the idea would be for (elpher-node-address node) to be
+a either a string or a symbol, with symbols used for "special"
+pages (bookmarks, start page, etc).  The getter functions
+`elpher-address-selector' etc will still do what they currently
+do, but will process the URL to do it.
+
+This also means that non-gopher URLs will be explicitly represented
+as such: no more abusing the "h" type for these.

 ** TODO Replace support for user-specified starting pages
 This used to be available, but was removed during a refactor.
 
+** TODO Allow for grouping of bookmarks
+To support this I'd like to add a bookmark page specific
+set of keybindings.  Currently all bindings available on
+the bookmark page are available everywhere else.  But
+expanding and collapsing bookmark groups sounds like it
+might need more specific bindings.
