Because the feeds are about posts and not URLs -- different people are posting the same item.
There's good reasons to have both, I think.
It'd be a bit of work but we could change it so that items would show up the first time they are posted.

I've been lurking on the list for a while, hoping that someone else would ask this, but no luck! Is there any plan to change the way del.icio.us delivers RSS feeds with regard to duplicate entries?
Before I really knew what del.icio.us was, I subscribed to /rss/tag/php and it wasn't long before I unsubscribed because there were *so* many duplicate entries.
Often when browsing the HTML version of del.icio.us, I'll notice two or three duplicates on the same page!
They'll have the same stats and the same link, and sometimes they'll even have the same title. Is this the desired behavior? If so, why?
One might argue that if the title is different, it should re-appear, but I'd disagree. If I'm subscribing to an RSS feed about a tag, it's to discover interesting links related to that tag. I can only discover a link once. After that, I've either bookmarked it, or it's useless to me.
Am I way off base, or not seeing the value, or something?
