I tried an idea like this a while back, but ran out of time to properly implement. I reckon it is feasible and would be incredibly useful (solely because I would use it, I assume others would). :)
If you want any help with this let me know, and I would love to make this a joint project? Or simply discuss it further?
You should check out the DiSo Project (http://diso-project.org). We're taking this basic concept, mixing in OpenID and building the components for decentralized social networking on top of projects like WordPress and Drupal.

I'm thinking somewhat alike, but much further than blogrolls: I want to focus on the wordpress tag pages. E.g. If I have a wordpress tag page "software" then it includes its own header and its own linkdirectory (in the sidebar) much alike http://edward.de.leau.net/about/music : what I want is that if I write about a certain site that IF the site contains a little description file itself that the link is automatically proposed (incl. favicon) for the link directory (incl. category) for the sidebar on the specific tag page. It would replace the bookmarks in my browser since I would have the same directory structure inside my blogs tag hierarchical structure. Furthermore if I have a tag page "music" and I write about another WordPress tag page with "music" in its tag it would automatically add that other tag page in a seperate block "the wordpress music community" (or something alike). That last thing is awful easy, the only difficult thing is how to recognize if the "link" is an actual WordPress tag portal page since the "/tag" is often replaced with many different words (in my case "/about/". This would probably involve a sort of discovery mechanism or just simply a convention in the header of TAG pages. It however falls in the same category as your line of thinking: decentralized social network. I could join the project also if you are interested.

This sounds interesting. Let us know if you ever implement it.
