I think I wasn't clear in what I said above.  What I meant was that I
didn't see an offer to import Petnames.  I did see an offer to import
bookmarks.  What mislead me was the fact that all my bookmark folders
appeared under something at the right labeled "Other bookmarks".
It was only the Petnames that received their own highlighted
folder looking box, at the upper left, without the "bookmark" label.
The "petname" folder seemed to appear independently of my "bookmarks".

I prefer getting rid of that "petname" 'folder' at the upper
left and moving it under my "other bookmarks" to avoid confusion.
Drag and drop seemed to do the trick in case others have a similar
interest.

Not a big deal, but since you mentioned it I thought I'd clarify.

Lack of support for Petnames will limit my use of Chrome.  Of course
I hope that someday if both Chrome and Petnames flourish we will see
something like Petnames in Chrome.
