I'd defnitely be interested in it. But as an FYI, I've looked at the 
lj protocol, and unfortunately at the moment all it allows are new 
posts and edits of old posts, along with retrieval of things like 
friends lists and friends groups and such. It has no way for you to 
see comments made to a post, nor even a way to see how many have been 
made. There is definitely no way to add comments.

Which means that one would have to parse web pages to enable that 
functionality, and that is something that the lj_dev community 
recommends against.  Not that that should stop you. :-)
