well... you must go the Favorites directory... then you will have other directories and files in .url which are links... they contain something like this :
[DEFAULT] BASEURL=http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q188/2/96.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0 [InternetShortcut] URL=http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q188/2/96.ASP?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0 Modified=204E2B024247C001E5

You just have to take what's after "URL=" and before "Modified"... !

Of course, security considerations prevent you from importing a user's bookmark file into your website, (if that was what you wanted to do?)

That information is only available with full system priveleges - the user might not want everyone to know what they have bookmarked!

Technically this should be possible, with the user's permission, by using an .hta to read the bookmark using system-level .js (fso etc,) and some brute force parsing on the server, but I can't imagine many peeps allowing the .hta in!
