Buy it or sue (or don't worry).

IANAL, but I wouldn't give you good odds in a squatting suit if the guy owned the domain before you owned the trademark.
That's true, but even temporarily copying the about page and not otherwise using the domain may be slightly more substantial in appealing to ICANN directly.
I really doubt it. ICANN doesn't tend to involve itself in this kind of thing AFAIK. From all I've ever heard of people's dealings with them, it's clear-cut squatting on womebody's rights, they don't care, and the URL currently points to the owner's Delicious page, which doesn't qualify.
You're right, I mixed it up a little bit. They won't personally hear it but have rules related to domain name disputes: http://www.icann.org/en/udrp/udrp.htm
