Feature idea: OPML/XOXO/h-card

Based on discussion in indieweb IRC: https://chat.indieweb.org/2017-06-26#t1498497757268000 (and following lines)

With relation to blogrolls, following, subscribing, etc. it would be nice to have a converter that could take these various specs and allow swapping between them for users to publish a single format as well as readers taking/supporting them as inputs.

In particular, some readers now support subscribing to OPML feeds so that if they're updated in the future, the reader sees the update and adds the subscription automatically. Thus people could more easily create and share subscribe-able lists in a variety of open formats.

Known already has code for creating following lists:
example: http://example.com/following (though password protected)

WordPress sites have the old Links Manager that publishes OPML, typically at:
example.com/wp-links-opml.php
