I am definitely -1 on this happening totally automatically. I guess it would be useful to suggest consolidations to users and maybe even go automatic for a given URI set if there are enough takers. You could do the same for tags for that matter.
So if someone (or enough people) consolidates some-tag and someTag, you could suggest the consolidation to other users. Then if you get enough takers maybe then consolidate for everyone. Maybe there should be voting at the end somehow. I would want consolidated terms to become synonyms and to be notified somehow. (Have synonyms ever been discussed?) So if some-tag and someTag consolidate to someTag, I would still want http://del.icio.us/lda/some-tag to get me my someTag bookmarks.
Lotta maybes. I am just letting my imagination run wild here. Take it all as such. Also forgive me if any of this has already been discussed.

Sometimes a url with and without the leading www. gives you different
things. I don't know how frequent this is though.
