Workaround to various issues
Create for yourself alone a group that is:
* private
* nonlisted
* invitation only.
Benefits
Accelerated posting of tagged bookmarks
See the example at http://groups.diigo.com/Diigo_HQ/forum/topic/46319#8
— a workaround of sorts for API: POST and PUT: parameter for read or unread
— a two-click workaround for users of Chrome, Safari and other WebKit-based browsers, who do not have a Read later button; script to apply the tag unread, then click Add new bookmark
— a three-click workaround for priority issue Diigolet should allow the user to prefer obscurity as a default for new bookmarks, which often manifests as a privacy-related bug; script to apply the tag private, then correct the Privacy menu, then click Add new bookmark
— etc..
RSS feed for private items
Based on your private tag.
RSS feed for unread items
Based on your unread tag.

As time passes, I'm discovering other benefits.
Pros and cons
The private group approach is not a panacea.
Security through obscurity
A tokenised URL without SSL is not truly secure
— a similar comment re: SSL may be made concerning your private bookmarks without groups.
URLs are visible.
A command-click (or Linux/Windows control-click) on an unread bookmark, to open it in a new tab, leaves the mark intact
— depending on your point of view, the unread marker should not change at that moment.
