Cool stuff. Very cool idea.

One thing that I think would make it a bit nicer is
related to the "Create new link" function. When adding
the new link into the system, it would be nice if
Roaming Nomad would grab the page in question. As I see
it, there are at least two things that would be done at
that point.

1) RN would verify that a page was actually returned,
guarding against the user mis-typing the URL. (Perhaps
this is only valid for HTTP links, but I bet a similar
test could be done for, at least, FTP links.)

2) The "TITLE" text from the page in question could be
used to *initially* populate the Description field.
This would be done only when the link was first added
to the database, and could be changed by the user using
the edit function any time after that.

Thanks for a great tool!

    I meant that it should initially populate the "Title" field.

    (title is being populated from title of page, it page can be
    loaded)
