I've done some minimal work related to pseudo-bookmarks with remote branch heads - my remotebranches extension is the result of that. I've been meaning to extend the concept to bookmarks as well, since I'm using them pretty much all the time now. The way I name these pseudo-bookmarks is just $paths_entry_name/$branch_name, and I was figuring I'd use $paths_entry_name/$bookmark_name for bookmarks. Open to both suggestions on that and contributing remotebranches/remotebookmarks into hgext.
