I think that's the point that some others are trying to make, though...

http://google.com
and
http://www.google.com

...are discrete URLs; they may actually point to the same content, but
by no means are they required to do so.  It's effectively the same issue
as http://absono.us and http://seamonkeyrodeo.blogspot.com pointing to
the same content, and there's no way (other than parsing the actual
content of each linked item) to determine whether the content at a
particular URL will be the same as any other variation of that URL.

It's conceivable that this isn't even something that it would be
practical to change on del.icio.us, since the url key appears to be the
hash value for a given URL, so that could be a key there.

In any case, it seems to me like there are enough other issues
surrounding it that it wouldn't probably be a great idea to try this
sort of link consolidation.
