EZ> Andrew, should these parts be removed, indeed?
Yes, I think it should be removed. As Jens says, the purpose of this section
was to
indicate that group marks are stored in the filesystem for these
backends, so saving these marks doesn't require doing anything other
than copying the files. But the marks are no longer stored in the
filesystem, so the whole section is moot. (As an irrelevant aside, for
some strange reason its under the "Browsing the Web" topic, which is why
I have never looked at it)
Best,
Andy
