Well, this would be very very nice, storing it in database would be the solution to almost all bookmark problems.
But a suggesion - when you write browser viewer please make it possible to open it from actual calibre app too, not only from server web interface. Maybe like passing direct web link to browser so it would skip library view and open the book immediately in web reader. That's because browsing library and finding books in web interface is so much clunkier and slower than in native calibre app so I'd avoid web interface entirely.

You pinpointed it correctly. I don't really like to always remember that I should extract and re-insert bookmarks on full epub redownload which is required in some specific situations. Of course, external bookmarks would be likely broken anyway when I do that but at least I would keep annotations so I could search for text and readd bookmark at new position
