In general, I think it's better to offer undo instead of prompting.
That's not always possible, but I think in the bookmark case, that
shouldn't be too difficult -- just register an undo action that inserts
the items that were removed, I think?

But if we want to do the prompt, just a tiny comment:

:version should be added, and the first line should be a complete
sentence.  (And "nil" shouldn't be capitalised, even if it starts the
sentence.)
