Deep linking would allow an LO to built in aggregate which is kinda fun.

(See the conversation between John and I re Articulate resume functionality etc) However it does need to be an optional property because there are some LO's where you wouldn't want it to be possible to skip direct to specific pages even if pages have been viewed previously. Not just because of non-linear navigation settings but also simply because of context etc. Having this under author control makes sense.

I think I got confused / distracted by the conversation about adding proeprties to each page, you don't need to do that in this case, right? Just one tick box for the author to say 'Enable bookmarking' and then if ticked, your code can run.
