When you embark on your bookmarkable paging navigator remember that you have to take into account 2 or 3 navigators on a page, how do you keep them apart? Or how do you encode sorting? URL state is a really tricky thing.
Besides, the paging navigator itself is quite non-interesting to bookmark. How often have you bookmarked a page from a search result in google? Why is it important to be able to bookmark page 21 of your product catalogue? How will that help if the sorting changes? Or if 20 new products are added to your catalogue? Make sure the results in your listview are bookmarkable.
