I am certain your main target is to support blogging clients and I am not really sure how many in the core WG are seeing this with their Atom-Pub-is-more-than-just-for-blogs lenses. Although there are many "Legacy applications", I think it would be a short-sided to ignore the next wave of applications that will be built using APP that might need a tiny bit more specified protocol, i.e. collection management, better introspection document, versioning, etc. Just my 2c. -Elias
