More bookmarks than expected reported in FHR?

[Brendan Colloran]

Thanks all, this is pretty much what I expected. Just to clarify in
general, it looks like we should proceed with the understanding that
the 'bookmarks' measurement in FHR/telemetry incorporates all the
bookmark folders (beyond those enumerated by Richard) as well as
individual bookmarks, yes?
