For now `bookmark-set' asks for an annotation (if required), sends it to
`bookmark-make' which calls `bookmark-make-record-function' with the
annotation as an argument.

IIUC Tassilo suggested that the annotation should be directly handled by
`bookmark-make-record-function', which seems correct to me.  What you
propose is to handle annotation in `bookmark-set' (or preferrably in
`bookmark-make') -- this is _feasible_, but it looks weird to me since
the annotation is really part of the record.

BTW, I really think the name suggestion should be taken care of by
`bookmark-make-record-function' (with an optional "name" arg), not 
by a separate call to `bookmark-make-name-function'...

Anyway - I let Karl summary and decide on this!
