Comment(by Otto42):

 +1 from me, but not in 2.9.

 Reasoning:
 * Many popular aggregator sites, such as Digg, get this information and
 use it correctly.
 * There's enough supported in oEmbed to make it useful. A post could be
 represented by the "rich" type. Attachments could get the "photo",
 "audio", or "video" types, depending on the attachment.
 * You could implement this as a new type of "feed" in WordPress quite
 simply. It's just an XML document with some of the content in it.

 Maybe for 3.0 or 2.9.1 or something.
