That works. I wonder, however, how many del.icio.us users are aware of tag intersections for searching bookmarks. I searched the help files before posting my question to the discussion list, without success. I just went back to the del.icio.us and did a search for "tag intersections" in their search box and got the following result:

del.icio.us tag search
which provides a format for doing tag intersection searches.

Tag intersections already do this, in a way.
If you tag something "science fiction", and you want to find something
marked "science" and "fiction", then you just look at
http://del.icio.us/tag/science+fiction
As far as I'm concerned, this makes it more accurate since it'll not
only show up as "science+fiction" but "science" and "fiction" too,
which is a small but useful difference.
