At first I was thinking "But why not just swap usernames?" but then I realized a username swap would move the permanent account over to the right content... but with the wrong username. So that's no good.

Wouldn't it do the opposite? The content doesn't switch over in a username swap.

The content and permanent account status would stay together. The username would change. So that wouldn't work for someone who wanted to move the perm from their fic journal to their personal one, for example, which would be a lot more common than someone wanting to attach perm status to a particular username.

As long as the person owns both accounts then this is a good idea.

As others have said above, with a fee charged for the service, I think this sounds like a good idea.
