Use OpenID for authentication to LiveJournal instead of username/password

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be really great to see an OpenID mechanism for authenticating to
the XML-RPC service within LiveJournal.

This would really help the livejournal2blogger conversion as OpenID is a
lot more specific authentication of a user and requires a login at
LiveJournal instead of the hosted application.

As far as I know, there's nothing in the LiveJournal documentation that
reflect that you can use OpenID instead of username/password to
authenticate a user of their XML-RPC service.
