One major screw up with Del.icio.us
Don't take me wrong as I love Del.icio.us. However, I cannot believe that you cannot tag anything with a space character in it. The reason being that at Del.icio.us the space character is used to separate the tagged keywords (pretty dumb). I often find that sometimes people use the period (.) character to separate keywords, while others use the underscore character (_) and so forth. The problem with this approach is that you cannot have two word tags and sometimes you simply need two or more words to describe something. It boggles my mind that the developers of Del.icio.us used the space character as a separator.
That's why when I was working on OpenEncyclopaedia.com, I decided to use comma as a separator (no heavy thinging here, just common sense) so users can tag a post with keywords that contain multiple words.

You're right, I really hate how delicious doesn't let you have a two word tag. They were not thinking of all the possibilities when they decided to do it that way.
