add external sites to user-tag parsing

[brownbetty]

Title:
add external sites to user-tag parsing

Area:
html markup

Summary:
It would be nice if the sites that can be added to one's profile were all recognized using the <user name=blah site=blah"> syntax.

Description:
It would be nice if all the sites, or at least the http:// ones which can be added @ manage/profile under "External Services" or "Other Sites" were recognized by the <user name= site= > tag. Perhaps not the messaging sites, which so far as I know do not have an associated user-page, but at least twitter, delicious, last.fm, and ravelry.

Difficulty: Should be low, as it would likely be nothing more than adding a substitution string.

Potential drawbacks: I'm afraid I am not knowledgeable enough about the coding to guess at the processing demands.

Benefits: More meaningful integration.
