Comment:

 This ties back into the notion of sharing vs. bookmarking.  Without tabs,
 I think these might need to be independent actions, but we'll have to
 consider the use cases.  It seems simpler to make them the same thing up
 front, but they could be seen as distinctly separate actions.  Sharing a
 link is an action belonging to the session, placing that page in the tray
 and allowing others to see it.  Bookmarking a page is a global action,
 which denotes that a local cache of that page should be kept for offline
 viewing.

 We've been using the star to mean "keep this as a favorite", and so that's
 quite consistent with the global bookmark.  What icon should we use to
 mean "share this link"?
