Yes, I have used (current-time) output directly so it can be used with
`time-less-p'. If the bookmark file, needs to stay more or less human
readable I could add a format-time-string/parse-time-string dance.

But I have one question, it seems that `time-less-p' works with
`parse-time-string' outputs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(let ((past (current-time)))
  (sit-for 5)
  (time-less-p (parse-time-string (format-time-string "%FT%T%z" past))
               (parse-time-string (format-time-string "%FT%T%z" 
(current-time)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Is that true or is it pure luck?
