I haven't stumbled across this documented anywhere and it will become part of my keyboarding repertoire. I confirmed it works in iChat, TextEdit, Mail and Safari so I would think it's part of the standard text input library. In MS Word 2008 and 2011 both command and option delete only remove the previous word.
[crarko adds: This is part of the Cocoa text handling system. I found an earlier reference in this hint but it's buried in there and so this particular usage may not be well-known. I trust nobody will be too alarmed if it's pointed out again.]
