Apologies if these feature exists already but I haven't found it. I think it would be helpful to have some way to "smart save" groups of bookmarks. Maybe smart lists - bookmarks are automatically included in the list if they match pre-defined criteria. Alternatively, how about compound tags - saving a group of tags as one compound or meta tag inclusive of all sub tags.
smart list would indeed be awesome. It appears to be a pretty easy feature to implemement, so I cant work out why more services don't use it. (Flickr for one, but I've suggested it on several services that use tags and it never appears. ) AFAIK zooomr is the only place that seems to do it.
One other half-way of doing it might be a "suggested lists" under the "suggested tags" where it suggests lists that have the same tags as the tags you add.
IMHO, smart lists, combined with an ability to enter tags on the toolbar and click QuickD would make it much faster to add links.

PS/ I'll stick it here. Adding links to new lists is a real pain, cos when you create a list it doesn't show up in the dropdown for about 5 minutes.

Yes! We need a way to automatically include bookmarks in a list based on specific tag combinations.
If one wants to take it to the extremes (and i'd like that ;), one advanced way could be to have a Gmail-like filtering in Diigo. Gmail allows you to automatically label emails based on specific criterias. The same thing could work in Diigo. You could filter bookmarks by a combination of tags, bookmarkers, lists etc., and then assign these bookmarks to tags, lists, convert to public/private etc.
Too advanced, too complicated? I say "advance enough" ;)
gmail filters would be very cool for power users. Though I think smart lists/smart groups might be easier for a lot of users to pick up. Both would be nice ;-)
