Isn't that what allowing un-manifested files does? It's about as flexible as one can imagine. Put any extra file you want in there and it gets ignored.

The possibilities for tracking files as they move around networks has possible privacy implications, no?

Yes. But at least the files are obvious. You could easily hide data in manifested files so allowing un-manifested files wouldn't seem to increase the privacy problem.

At the very least, won't a file get ever larger as it's moved around, opened in different programs, each one adding its own bookmarks file?

Yes. Would you rather prohibit adding bookmarks? I like being able to share bookmarks.
