(Note: That statement is only about annotating.
Your response is about automatic relocation and
highlighting.)

Yes.  I don't think it works only by luck most of
the time.  I think it works well most of the time.

Of course, if there are large edits before the
next time you jump to a bookmark, then, yes, it
might not be possible to relocate it automatically
(in which case you're prompted to relocate it
manually).

But edits between jumps to a bookmark are, I think,
typically not so large as to prevent automatic
relocating.

Also, the automatic relocation of Bookmark+ is
better than that of vanilla Emacs.

> Same question for highlighting bookmarked positions:
> I thought such features were only added by "bookmark+"?

Correct.  That is added by Bookmark+.  It's not
available with vanilla bookmark handling.

If you use Bookmark+ then the highlighting is
available also for bookmarks created with vanilla
Emacs.  But the highlighting is not available
without Bookmark+.
