Wow, this is really useful! Thank you!

The purpose of discovery is so the client can find the service. Which
of these formats have good client support? WSDL does; if you flesh out
that WSDL document with a description of the Atom API format, then
your Java, .NET, and Perl code is magically written for you. Client
programmers no longer need to look at the XML at all: they just say
  "wsdl.exe http://www.blogengine.com/API.wsdl"; 
and *poof* they have a .NET client with methods like
  createPost(String author, String entry, ...)

Do any of the other discovery formats have similar client support?
