Sam,

Actually, I was thinking of the pre-Atom piece you wrote:

http://www.intertwingly.net/stories/2003/01/26/evolve.html

If Atom were to ditch the reliance on HTTP purity and stick to passing
around chunks of markup, then I could implement Atom with a few trivial code
modifications. I could literally change a few variable names and be done,
and it would arguably be more efficient without the XML-RPC library as a
middleman.

But if I'm going to end up having to implement a pointless digest
authentication system (I'll believe that's important when Blogger ceases to
have an HTML login form), fiddle with HTTP response codes, and generally
rewrite the whole thing... well, the exercise rapidly loses its charm.
