<link rel="weblog" href="weblog/" title="Martin's Weblog" />

I'm joking, I think ;)

Presumably if someone wanted their weblog to appear on LJ they'd add
*that* URL too. That way users would be conceptually adding the weblog
to their friends list. They could have a separate account for commenting
with their primary identity, and ideally LiveJournal (like Mark's wiki)
would allow multiple ids to be associated with the same account. (but
which one wins if there are several weblogs!?)
