The goal is to pull all of the links (200+ and listed multiple times) into a webpage template so that I can control the presentation of the links. I've created a css collapsible multi-level menu to provide a structure that is similiar to the existing anchor/target list (and of course, added a lovely tag cloud as another access point.)

It seems impossible to view each complete group of links through scrolling (the menu collapses/closes early). If I continue down this path, I'm thinking that I will need to break these up into individual menus.

I've found dishy (http://icant.co.uk/sandbox/dishy/) to be helpful in
pulling and styling del.icio.us links. I do have at least one category
with 12 links that seems to work fine
(http://www.mrrl.org/services/refer/links/index.php). Hope that helps!
