Put them in the filename - Sync? Many of us already sync our devices in some way (dropbox/gdrive/syncthing/...). I see it as a plus - it puts me in control, not "the cloud" - Import / Export? `mv` & `cp`. You can take your export on a USB stick, send it over email, you name it. - Users? /home/bob/bookmarks, /home/alice/bookmarks

Use extended attributes, putting everything into the filename is awkward.

That makes it much harder to search, sync, export etc. Awkward? yes, but there's nothing wrong with it.
