I'm writing a script that will convert Delicious bookmarks (tags etc.) into a JSON file that can be imported into Firefox. The only problem is that without knowing the schema used by Firefox there is no way to validate this database. I've tried inspecting the output JSON file from Firefox to reverse engineer this but have not had much success.
