Hmm. See; I don't like this idea because it robs me of valuable metadata about topics I'm interested in following (I subscribe to a number of delicious tags and popular items).
If by default your bookmarks were set to anonymous, such that your name and account weren't associated with them, but your tags (& an option for notes?) were displayed within the community as a whole: Would you still set your bookmarks to private?
I realise some internal network and local links, notes or URIs with user identifiers may be ultra-sensitive... but perhaps filters for your name and other personal identifiers could be used in those cases to catch and mark as 'private'.
Yay or nay? Would you use something like this instead?

I think really del.icio.us shouldn't give me the choice of private vs non-private. Non-shared links rob the community of valuable metadata.
I'm not really sure why I am marking things as private, I've just noticed that I do.
