I'm pretty sure Blogger already does something like this -- OpenID commenters from LJ show up as just their LJ username, rather than the whole URL [username.livejournal.com], but if you mouseover "username" it's a link to username.livejournal.com. I also like this because it's not obvious on first glance that it IS an LJ account user leaving the comment. It's just a clean way of saying "I'm an authenticated user, but not from this site" without getting bogged down with extra information about WHICH site you're using to authenticate. I would love to see DW's handling of OpenID look something like that, rather than LJ's handling.
