[X4U] iSync questions

[Mark Des Cotes]

If I understand correctly, if I want to sync the bookmarks between my 
home computer and work computer using my .mac account, the current 
bookmarks on one of the computers will be erased and replaced with the 
bookmarks from the other? What if I want to somehow merge all my 
bookmarks so that my home BMs will be copied to work and vice versa 
without loosing any. Is this possible with iSync?
