I would agree that changing it so that you get the popup with SELECT if 
a bookmark is present makes sense (especially in light of the problems 
with arrow-key accelerators).  Users wanting to just play can hit 
PLAYBACK (P) (and it will play from bookmark, if bookmark is set or the 
beginning otherwise).
