Opening "Like"

Quick thought: What if instead of putting Facebook “Like” buttons on every site on the web, every authentication service could provide it’s own “like” service (or point to the “like” service of your choice)?. Then – to give the extreme example – if I used an OpenID service to log in to Facebook, the “like” on Facebook would be posted via my preferred “like” service? Hows that for Open?
