>> Obviously these interactions would have to be fleshed out a little bit
When I first read your idea I thought "Hmm... This is to reputation what OpenID is to usernames and passwords". And just then a little light bulb appeared above my head: If you tracked this by OpenID, than any site using OpenID could easily switch over to your system - without having to confirm that a certain username was a certain account on YOUR system, yada yada yada.
I think it's a good idea - the only problem is getting this to catch on with at least a couple of well known sites. That's a hard thing to do, but I think it's a good idea. I like universality (though admittedly, I'm not the biggest fan of OpenID itself)
edit: If you're really serious about doing this - I'd be happy to work with you on it - email me at SHP4HN [at] gmail [dot] com
