There's been a lot of discussion lately (Dave, Ben, Bill, Justin) about building secure, cross-site identity systems, much of that discussion now centering on how FOAF could be used as the core of such a system. And Eric Sigler wrote a first step towards such a system by fetching a FOAF file and extracting out name, email address, and homepage, then sticking those into Movable Type comment fields.
