thanks! :)

yep, it's written in nodejs. it's quite hacky (really just a
proof-of-concept) but the code is on
https://github.com/unhosted/useraddress

in the case of diaspora it will use
https://github.com/unhosted/useraddress/blob/master/parser/xrd.js to
discover (iirc) full name, avatar, profile URL and the newsfeed
end-point.
