FWIW I'd prefer a fringe marker than the current fontification.

One problem I've seen while testing this feature for the last weeks is
that editing text within the fontified region will (expectedly) expand
the fontified part, questioning the very idea of having an "area" for
indicating where the bookmark points.

A fringe marker for the line where this point is seems useful enough.

2 cents,
