No, no. What I mean is an XML interchange format for the bookmarks
themselves that formalized the data so that it would be easier to go
from service to service and track other associated information
*automatically*.

Ultimately this would provide a better mechanism than RSS itself is
(or maybe it could be some extension of RSS or ATOM, whatever) for
interchange between services. I would like to be able to have links
filtered and raised in status based on their presence and linking not
just in del.icio.us, but in a federation of bookmark services... then
we could maintain the scale that makes the social aspect work while
allowing people to choose their own tools as "front-ends": spurl,
furl, del.icio.us, etc.
