Did a little more work on this, and still playing.

New functions to save your del.icio.us posts to a file (~/.delicious by
default) and load the posts from the file. Make sure you have some posts in
memory before saving the file, because it will just erase whatever is in the
file currently. (M-x delicious-build-posts-list will get them from the
server). 

Now, (planner-rewrite-delicious-posts "yourtag") will use the posts from that
file. At the moment you can only filter the posts by a single tag, but I'll be
implementing the full functionality for offline usage in the next few days.

Darcs repository is back online at
<http://www.wjsullivan.net/darcs/delicious-el>, tarball at
<http://www.wjsullivan.net/darcs/delicious-el/delicious-el.tar.gz>. The one
lonely planner-delicious function is now in that archive as well.
