Yeah but those people can then not use the system. No reason that all 
the other people can't :-p. I like the "merging" idea, as it was

It's a simple matter of adding to the help file that bookmarks can not 
be expected to be preserved 100% if the file is modified outside of 
TextMate. This is nothing new... computers aren't magic.
