OmniWeb assumes the page is a lost cause.

You can cycle through all your unreachable bookmarks by clicking on  
the ??? icon at the top, and open each of them (visiting a page  
successfully will clear the "dead" marking) or click "Check now" on the  
inspector.  Alternatively, you can use the "Bookmarks->Change  
Checking->Mark all as 'alive' under selection" menu to clear their dead  
state so it will try them again on its next pass.

I don't believe bookmarks know the difference.

Feedback on this process is welcome, send your suggestions to
