I suppose you can make that argument. But I've always considered MOBI files as a combo of MOBI/MDP files where the mobile was the text and the MDP was the annotation/bookmarks that went along with that file.
Most MOBI readers I've used Kindle and Mobipocket's all support the MOBI/MDP format interchangably. So when I copy MOBI/MDP files from my MobiPocket reader and the Kindle reader all my annotations and bookmarks are viewed and modifyable.
In Sony's solution all bookmarks/annotations are saved in an XML file on the reader. There is no easy way to transfer the data. Also bookmarks are not preserved across all fonts, you have a bookmark per font size. This is due to the fact that the bookmark annotation system is not tied into the file format. (I suppose you can argue that SONY just implemented Bookmarks/annotations poorly).
