I guessed that's what you meant, but I didn't know if you wanted the
long explanation. :) It's "experimental" because we put it out there and
haven't changed it for a long time. In an ideal world it'd get a major
overhaul, and we have a lot of ideas for that, but this feature is lower
on the priority list than several other things and so we're not
currently working on it.
Delicious itself has a lot of lowercase everywhere on the site, and this
choice has to do with style as well as grammar. We're moving toward more
"proper" capitalization eventually, though.
Thanks for your patience!

long explanation. :) It's "experimental" because we put it out there and
haven't changed it for a long time. In an ideal world it'd get a major
overhaul, and we have a lot of ideas for that, but this feature is lower
on the priority list than several other things and so we're not
currently working on it.
Delicious itself has a lot of lowercase everywhere on the site, and this
choice has to do with style as well as grammar. We're moving toward more
"proper" capitalization eventually, though.
