The documentation was updated in 2.8.2dev.4, to state

	.h2 DEFAULT_BOOKMARK_FILE
	# DEFAULT_BOOKMARK_FILE is the filename used for storing personal bookmarks.
	# It will be prepended by the user's home directory.
	# NOTE that a file ending in .html or other suffix mapped to text/html
	# should be used to ensure its treatment as HTML.  The built-in default
	# is lynx_bookmarks.html.  On both Unix and VMS, if a subdirectory off of
	# the HOME directory is desired, the path should begin with "./" (e.g.,
	# ./BM/lynx_bookmarks.html), but the subdirectory must already exist.
	# Lynx will create the bookmark file, if it does not already exist, on
	# the first ADD_BOOKMARK attempt if the HOME directory is indicated
	# (i.e., if the definition is just filename.html without any slashes),
	# but requires a pre-existing subdirectory to create the file there.
	# The user can re-define the default bookmark file, as well as a set
	# of sub-bookmark files if multiple bookmark file support is enabled
	# (see below), via the 'o'ptions menu, and can save those definitions
	# in the .lynxrc file.
	#
	#DEFAULT_BOOKMARK_FILE:lynx_bookmarks.html
