As I wrote to Graeme:
These things take time, and you should allow for this.

Remember, FPC is a hobby project for the core team. 
I have currently 2 paying jobs to make ends meet, 
but do try to squeeze in as much FPC as I possibly can.

So patience, please. All this picking on FPC core does not help.

Anyway, the change is undone, we're back on TBookmarkStr. 
TBookMarkStr is now marked deprecated. Revision 21155.

Michael.
