There's some modification to the original entry text that's going to have 
to be done on crossposting, like pulling out/modifying lj-user tags and 
such.  Polls will most likely also need some sore of similar special 
attention.  

I think that the simplest solution will be just to have one poll on DW and 
link crossposts back to it, so that's probably what the first version will 
have.  Unless it turns out that the first version just doesn't handle polls 
at all and breaks horribly, in which case the simple solution above will 
actually be in the _second_ version.  :)

Seriously, I think that the crossposter is going to have to go through 
several iterations in beta before we get it right.
