This solution is not perfect because I don't want to tell the readers of the 
PDF file about the point where I edit it.

We need a new quick way to find a bookmark.

The following is a possible solution:

Define <bookmark> tag (which maybe should just call <label> tag) and make a 
menu which would list all bookmarks.

I know. But it isn't the most convenient way.
