Is this new? Descriptions have been part of delicious since day 1. I annotate most my bookmarks soley for searching purposes - so I can find stuff that has common tags. After all, just about everything I read about carries the same tags - socialnetwork, web2.0, AJAX, mashup -- the redundancies make the tagging useless if you can't find something when you go looking for it.

"Why bother" is what I was thinking too. As long as it's not required or even visible for most users, I don't think it will matter much though.

Del.icio.us needs to figure out how to become more accessible to the average user, adding tag descriptions to the already obscure idea of tagging (to Joe and Janet Internet User at least) certainly isn't going to help them regain the position they lost to companies like Digg and StumbleUpon.

I do try and keep my del.icio.us posts tidy by giving them descriptions and relevent tags, but this just seems like an unnecessary extra.
