I've been using the uri:asin:xxx tag assuming that sometime in the

if it doesn't, I need some kind of convention for tags used when I
pull feeds elsewhere. Similarly, I 'd like to use something like:
author:last,first etc...
I once thought I wanted an author field in Del. But I've discovered
that plain old tags can do a lot of this...now I use the convention that
all-lowercase are normal tags and CamelCase for the author name
field. I don't know if this convention would particularly help you
personally, but I've seen other Del users doing this, too.
I'd still like to see true fields for pre- and post-title expansion
text, but we've been over that before. :)
But even with just using the standard uri tag, the display of such
tags are starting to be irritating. It would be cool to be able to
hide classes of tag from display. There's no reason to, by default at
least, need to see all the uri:asin links in this page, for instance:
http://del.icio.us/fncll/ToRead http://del.icio.us/fncll/ToRead
For the type of meta-classification that you're describing, I can
definitely see your point.
Also, it would nice to be able to have all tags with a certain name,
prefix, or of a type added to a bundle. So all uri:asin:x tags would
be automatically added to the zBookRefs bundle on my list...
This sort of thing would be nice, but I'd prefer to see it done
completely ad hoc, without relying on particular prefixes or whatever.
For example, in general, I'd like all my web tags also tagged
computer, and all computer tags to also be tagged technology.
