I've just released version 2.1 of HTML Import, which includes a new option to fix internal links. As the importer runs, it builds a list of old paths vs. new permalinks.

Import Delicious bookmarks as WordPress links or posts
So, a while back, I was working on a Delicious importer for WordPress. It's an update of Guillermo Moreno's plugin, which imports bookmarks as posts.
