I would suggest using WebDAV (though one might argue that it too is another
hack protocol :-), which provides you with protocol for PUT, GET, DELETE,
etc. of URLs, with locking.  You'll have to figure out how to map your
bookmark datastructure into some hybrid of a URL tree and RDF data in WebDAV
properties, but it seems feasible, and since the code is free and does 80%
of what you want, its worth considering.
