There was a longer article on this, linked a few weeks back (actually written in 2002).
TL;DR: this would work, except for a completely minor issue: a large-scale HW+SW overhaul of everything up and down the net stack would be necessary before this extension would work (just as with IPv6). Therefore, no significant benefit over IPv6 (plus a bunch of brand new, IPv4.1 specific problems).

One theory I had was that blogrolls were common previously and allowed for cluster navigation. My friends and I certainly had these pointing to each other because why wouldn't you? The big bloggers on HN I see are tptacek, rachelbythebay, and simonwillison and none of them have a blogroll. General wisdom in website SEO etc. is to keep the user on your page and not send them elsewhere and I thought that perhaps many people were adhering to that. However, I think blogrolls were just not common ever and I was in a bubble that had them and so thought they were.
Here's what I did to find out. I first used an RSS aggregate feed that I recall: Planet Debian. I then picked out a ten year old archive of that feed but not on September 11 itself (well because you know). And the data says that blogrolls were always rare! So it's not that.
