(From a support perspective, I understand - when I used to do LJ support volunteering, it felt like every tenth question was "OMG MY FRIENDS PAGE IS BROKEN" due to some wacky interaction between something screwy in a custom journal layout and something somebody posted in an entry, frequently the fault of the Rich Text Editor. "OMG MY JOURNAL IS BROKEN" due to similar causes happened proportionately rather less. Force everyone to a Facebook-style layout and only spend dev time on maintaining one style instead of official dozens-to-hundreds is just smart time management, but given this was coming up against people who had gotten used to customized friends pages over the course of a decade plus, it was going to be an uphill battle at best. And I say that as somebody whose rallying cry was LJ IS NOT FACEBOOK for many, many years.)
In any case, this looks like it will be a nifty and useful tool; I'm especially excited to try it out for AO3/Pinboard stuff :) Thanks for coding it!
