I've thought of the same thing, and have actually started work on something to do this at http://tagging.ning.com/ -- it's not done yet, but I think the concept could be very useful to all sites employing folksonomy

Dear friends,
I have a suggestion for a new feature in del.icio.us to improve a wonderful site.
As you know, many databases have a thesaurus to cover different spellings of the same word, or different words that cover the same concept.
I'd like to have a thesaurus in del.icio.us, that could have several features.
1) The same concept in several languages: art=arte=kunst; music=música=musica=musik...
2) Different spellings of the same word: defense=defence or circumventing special characters: España=Espana=Espanya
3) Different ways of expressing the same concept: US=USA=United.States=United_States, UK=Britain=United.Kingdom
Such a tool could help people to explore del.icio.us.
Best regards from Spain
Fernando Hernández
