agreed! i'm hoping @kylewm's https://github.com/kylewm/mf2util does this so i can ride on its coattails. :P

Yay! I would absolutely endorse using or copying mf2util.util.is_name_a_title https://github.com/kylewm/mf2util/blob/master/mf2util/util.py#L205

I'm less sure that you'd want to use the higher-level mf2util.interpret_feed method. It transforms the standard mf2 data from a page into a simpler format that expects certain properties and value types. It's what I want for Woodwind and for doing stuff like fetching a reply context, but I'm not sure if it'll ever be general enough for converting to AS

we started using mf2util.post_type_discovery as part of #81, so looks like this is already done! closing.
