Created attachment 146409 [details]
xbel-1.0.xsl

The attached XSL script converts XBEL into HTML.

1) Rename FILENAME.xbel into FILENAME.xml
2) Below first line <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
3) Add <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="xbel-1.0.xsl"?>
4) Open XML file

Done

I suggest to store and also export as XBEL.

buku also utilizes XBEL.

I have wrote an article about the menace of Netscape HTML bookmark format, and the suspected reason to why it is still in use by "multi-million worth(less) browser vendors".

On that note, importing foreign bookmarks would be awesome
