that Microcosm is run on it's own servers, like tumblr is. You have a tumblr, and use their service, you don't run your own. Therefore there is no way that the affiliate links can be swapped to their own ones.
Of cause, you need to capture people posting their own affiliate links, and hijack them, but that's a step beyond the starting point.

ah, I see what you mean. the threat of being cut out of the API approved list if you do so? If it's there from the start, then it's less of an issue. Also, I suspect it could be quite tricky to code, and would only net you a minimal amount of people.
