LogJam porting question: prop_xpost_check

[unixronin]

I'm working on an update to Evan Martin's LogJam client to support the metadata and tag changes on Dreamwidth. I have it mostly ready to go, apart from a few site-specific issues like the cut and user tags, but I'm running into a problem with prop_xpost_check. When I submit a test post that attempts to set the prop_xpost_check property, the submission fails with an 'invalid metadata' error. Is the auto-crossposting feature intended to be usable by remote clients, or is it available only when submitting through the web interface?

Frankly, I'll be surprised if LJ revises their code to add crosspost support. There's little mileage in them doing so. And if other sites DO start adding crosspost support, it's going to increase the probability of loops, which will probably lead to the need for a formally defined crosspost protocol designed to prevent loops.
