As I pointed out last time, this issue comes up every six months. It is 
worth considering that you don't need microformats to extract data from 
del.icio.us; it's available in purely semantic form as RSS. Also: 
rel-tag doesn't capture the data delivered by del.icio.us in the way 
that is being disucssed; the tags apply to the links from del.icio.us, 
not to the page as a whole. ~D
