You've probably noticed that I use 'science fiction', 'scifi' and 'sf' - in the full knowledge that, because del.icio.us doesn't distinguish capitalisation, 'sf' ends up being read by people searching for stuff abou San Francisco! del.icio.us does allow you to aggregate tags in the way you suggest, but you're right, some kind of overseeing system would be an advantage. But try telling that to a coder who likes working to defined standard methodologies! :-) Therein lies the problem, Michael.

What's needed is really some kind of fuzzy tag search that aggregates similar tags. Ah, but shouldn’t the tag be sf? scifi? sci-fi?
