Yes. It displays only those entries, which are present in both "sets",
so to speak; it'll display only those entries, which have been assigned
the tags.

Ex.: I've got a tag "Linux" http://del.icio.us/a.skwar/Linux and
a tag "howto" <http://del.icio.us/a.skwar/howto>. If I "plus them
together", only those bookmarks are shown, which both the tags
"Linux" *AND* "howto" -> http://del.icio.us/a.skwar/linux%2Bhowto

I created a Yahoo! Pipe which allows to do just that. See
<http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=_qPh_TP02xG9PbWtjUnRlg>.
You can of course also get a RSS feed :)

Hm... It just occurs to me, that this pipe is pretty much
useless, as del.icio.us already provides a feed for the
combined tags. For example for "all" the "linux+howto"
bookmarks at http://del.icio.us/tag/linux%2Bhowto it would
be <http://del.icio.us/rss/tag/linux+howto>.

What do you mean with "popular union"? Would you like to get
a feed for "linux+howto" from the "Popular items tagged"?
Kinda those popular linux http://del.icio.us/popular/linux tags,
which also are shown in the popular howto list at 
<http://del.icio.us/popular/howto>?

If so, that's yet another task for Pipes ;)
