Kind of wish HN would adapt Open* or similar for token access for posting... though that opens the door to a lot of potential issues (spam) I'm guessing they're trying to avoid... maybe requiring the web interface until you hit 1K karma or something.

Worrying about spam doesn't make much sense here, as the web interface is pure HTML forms, with no client-side checks. It isn't hard to automate the posting process.
