What I have experienced while writing Perl script to convert Chimera and OmniWeb bookmarks to Safari is that Safari is more sensitive to certain characters not encoded properly.

For example, I had one web page title with &, but it wasn't encoded properly. Instead of using &, I just had a plain & and this caused Safari to display no bookmarks.

When I was writing mine I had a m-dash character — and the property list format didn't like it. Whenever this character appeared in the property list file I couldn't open it in the Property List Editor.

My script converts Omniweb to Safari. You can grab the script at http://users.bigpond.net.au/abryson/omniwebToSafari/
