It could crawl elements within the DOM to save a word cloud of visible text for each bookmark as metadata for later searches. I think it's doable. Separating nonvisible and visible stuff is very difficult though.

This is supported, but not integrated in bookmark lookup. I mean, if you hit ctrl+s, the browser will save currently rendered HTML. No crawling required. Hooking up some text indexing for search seems perfectly doable.
