delicious feature request: expiration date on links (submitted to delicious.com)

Like many users, I bookmark news articles using delicious. It would be nice if I could set them to expire after a certain period of time. You see, I use delicious for two purposes: to save links, and the share links. In some cases, the links I share don’t really need to be saved; I am not likely to go back looking for them in the future. A special tag such as expire:30 (with ‘30′ here representing a variable number of days) would be useful. Many notable people, such as Stephen O’Grady of RedMonk, also use delicious to share links, and might trumpet the new feature. For delicious, the feature might mean using a little less storage space (in fact, I personally might set more than half of my saved links to expire).

Thanks!
