Although common - it's bad practice to change published URLs,
especially if the relevant redirects aren't added to ensure that the

I'm not sure how much help it is but you could bookmark the ISBN
URN[1] and then provide a tool (maybe something built into
del.ishli.st or similar) that does something useful with these
bookmarks.

It definitely sounds like something that's too specific to be added to
del.icio.us (imo)
