Bookmarking in del.icio.us

Whilst watching a power user at play in the language evolution in del.icio.us screencast, I was intrigued to see how the optional extended element of a del.icio.us bookmark could be populated simply by highlighting a portion of text on the page to be bookmarked...

...but not it seems in the bookmarklet I got from deli.icio.us when I subscribed?

Never mind - the fix is a quick one: e.g. create a new variable:

r=encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection());

then add it to the URI used to open the bookmarking window:

+'&extended='+r
