eww and bookmarks

For tinfoil-hat reasons, I'm hesitant about the idea of having a single
bookmark list for both local and network resources, and both emacs and
non-emacs launching. I don't want a situation where there might be
uncertainty which program is about to be launched or whether the network
is going to accessed and what follow-on 'stuff' my device will end up
doing.

That doesn't mean I oppose the notion of a single 'grand unified'
bookmark list, just that I would want some clear indication in advance
of what is about to happen should I open any specific link.

Maybe what would be sufficient for those concerns would be a pair of
visual cues: one for 'local/network', and a second for 'emacs/external'.
Then an interested user could query a bookmark's details for further
information, or just click-through. The visual cues might not even need
to take up additional screen space: maybe it would be sufficient to
underline network bookmarks, and to italicize bookmarks that launch
external programs.
