can use this distinguish official POSSE posts from other posts that happen to mention a link, and maybe send webmentions for the latter. details: http://indiewebcamp.com/original-post-discovery

i originally decided against this because rel-syndication adoption is low, based on an unscientific survey. :P

also! if bridgy knows an account's domain, it can fetch its front page and search rel-syndication links to do original post discovery without links or permashortcitations!
