Scott, I've been meaning to add this to Scrumptious for ages, especially since it would be trivial to do so. I'm planning to release a new version in the next couple of days anyway (I've added tag autocomplete, among other things) so I'll try to squeeze this in there too.
Making a Greasemonkey script to modify the actual del.icio.us interface in this way would be tough, since you'd have to retrieve the bookmarked page via Ajax (well, Ajah really :-) and get the metadata using regular expressions (since Firefox won't give you an HTML DOM of a page that isn't loaded into the browser). One of many reasons why I believe that a Firefox sidebar is the Right Way to deal with tagging webpages...
