michal, is that a feature or a bug? maybe it is not obivous to me what you are doing but it i feel that it is almost like asking the user to bookmark a bookmarklet.
Bookmarklets should be bookmarkable only manually, with user knowledge and consent (that is, you need to copy-and-paste the URL, etc). This seems to be the case for javascript: URLs. Here, the situation is different: the user can, and quite likely will, unknowingly bookmark a script while attempting to bookmark a regular page via Ctrl-D + <return>. He doesn't expect or want this code to later run in the context of his start page or any other resource (principle of least astonishment, etc, etc). Cheers, /mz
