My thought about bookmarks + queue is that since a queue is by
definition a non-permanent playlist addition, that the most natural
bookmarking result is that it choose the closest real playlist entry -
perhaps the most recent playlist entry before the queued sequence? Can
that be parsed easily? That would result in a bookmark that's as close
as possible to what was being played, but expectedly not remembering a
transitory (queued) track - a result which seems intuitive to me, as a
user.
