Ah, bugger.... I deleted my original response to add to the bottom. Sorry about the mix-up.
*nudges* You've been busy, busy, busy...! Thanks for all the links, etc. :)
On a note for recommendations for Delicious alternatives, I would argue against Google bookmarks, unless you're just doing a basic save with a couple of tags. Anything more intensive is lost on the site. :\ Unless the service has changed since February... I played with it for about 2 months & gave it up as inadequate for my needs.
Oh... and I decided to bite the bullet & join Pinboard (username = shibela \o/). :P I figure at this point, I've got 37 bookmarks from Delicious that I'll have to add "by hand", but it's better than the alternative of importing my bookmarks from there right now as they've managed to break up my most import tags, thus rendering them useless.
They did...but then so did Pinboard on the import. :\ However, I'm coming close to having it all fixed up....erm, sort of close -- I only have some 480 or so to do by hand before I can do the mass re-naming API route again. LOL! The thing is is that I'm able to do something about it. \o/ And I might still end up changing the cursed word count tags later on as I figure out exactly what I want to do with them. But...they'll be easier to change by that point than what I'm dealing with currently.
I got lucky--I'm snowrose over there as well! I guess I was also lucky? (in that I only have about 50 bookmarks to re-save) since I last exported my bookmarks from delicious again about a week ago.
And you know what? Pinboard is alright. Especially when I think the most useful thing I can do with Delicious right now is delete my account.
I'm super lucky that I was (a) very busy over the weekend and (b) in the middle of reading a couple very long fics I'd bookmarked long ago. So I'd only bookmarked one or two things since my last back up on the 23rd. Phew!
Pinboard seems the closest to delicious out of the alternatives I've tried, and it sounds like the owner is willing to add features we're missing (he may put in tag bundles, for instance).
I'm not going to delete my delicious account yet; at least for now it's another back up. Who knows, they may get their act together...though I'm not holding my breath. ;)

Just added you in pinboard! So they totally borked your word count tags? Cursed comma separation. :(
