Actually, the Mosaic hotlist is a special case.  I remember when I was
poking around the lynx code in the bookmark stuff, there is a section that
is there specifically to convert a Mosaic hotlist into a psuedo-bookmark
file for Lynx.  I would imagine this code was added in Lynx's early
days when Mosaic was still hot stuff... :)  I suppose it would be possible
to do something similar for Netscape's bookmark file although it's
basically HTML already...
