Here's an idea.

If I own these two accounts:

        http://identi.ca/tobyink
        http://example.com/tobyink

Then I should be able to join them together. To join them together would be like a subscription, but would be bi-directional and require confirmation from both ends.

Once joined, notices from <http://example.com/tobyink> would not just appear in the notice stream at <http://identi.ca/tobyink/all> but also in the notice stream at <http://identi.ca/tobyink>. People who subscribed to <http://identi.ca/tobyink> would also see notices from <http://example.com/tobyink>. (And vice versa of course.)

This makes moving accounts easy - you just join your new account to your old account, then abandon the old one. Subscribers don't need to unsubscribe from the old account and subscribe to the new one. (Though the person moving accounts will need to re-add to all their old subscriptions to their new account.)

Just an idea. What do others think?
