When you post to to /user from the bookmarklet, it passes url and
title, which gives you a posting form.
The posting form then passes url, description, notes and tags (title
becomes description) and only url and description are required to post.
title is ignored.
The /post url allows only a title and url and redirects to the same
place the /user page does, with just a title and URL.
We require the username in the URL to post to prevent XSS hacks.
So you can suggest the eventual description (use &title=) and I do
not allow people to pre-suggest tags so as to not allow owners to bias
the data.

A couple of questions:
I've noticed that
http://del.icio.us/userX?url=""
spreadsheet
, e.g., works - in the sense that it succeeds in passing the URL,
title *and* tags to the posting GUI - while this doesn't:
http://del.icio.us/post?url=""
spreadsheet; it leaves off the tags.
Is there a (good) reason for this?
Also, why is it not possible to post a "&description="?
Also, I am aware of http://del.icio.us/help/api
- and http://del.icio.us/help/api/posts,
in particular - but this does not seem to address URL construction per
the examples above.
Is URL construction per ex's above documented anywhere?...
Bottom line: Is it possible to write a link that will pass a URL, title
*and* tags (and ideally also description) to del's posting GUI
*without* knowing a user's del username?...
Thanks,
Matthew
