The ability to bookmark a location history item hasn't been scoped, but
that's a cool idea. I've made a note of it and will share it with the team.
If it's not a feature than can be integrated in the scope of this project,
it's a great feature idea for a future enhancement.

Our implementation of a nav bar also includes a history drop-down just like
a web browser. If you take a look in NAV-28, there should be a few designs
and wireframes that show this feature.

We discussed the idea of integrating the nav bar into the menu bar, but felt
it made the menu bar far too cluttered. There's just so much happening in
that area of the UI already. As long as you run Second Life in a full screen
window on a large monitor, it can work out great - but for those running
Second Life on a smaller display or window, it was just too crowded.
