Exactly...  And I think everyone will agree that there's no reason to 
remove bookmarks--unless done so explicitly--once we have the ability to 
set multiple bookmarks and give them names.  After all, which would you 
remove?  So, no need for "Clear Saved Position on playback".

As far as "Alternate Clear Saved Position" goes, it makes absolutely no 
sense at all once you have multiple.  Again, which one would be 
removed?  (The closest one?  The one you last set? ...)  Multiple 
bookmarks with names requires a new UI for explicitly removing/editing 
bookmarks (possibly part of the existing edit functionality, which would 
go well with the new markup changes Greg is working on).
