Bookmarks are persistent and they have names; not so, markers. Bookmarked
positions can also be relocated (found) if they move slightly because of text
changes.
(Yes, beyond emacs -Q one can find other kinds of bookmarks and markers that
blend these differences. This is the difference for vanilla GNU Emacs.)
