Thanks everyone for the great feedback. Lots of good ideas. And it has also helped me formulate a smoother formulation of the task: this is to define an RSS2.0 type extension template to allow Atom to be transformed into RDF so that RDF extensions can be used with ease.
So this task is not huge, but it will take a little work. Web wide participation is welcome :-) We just need to cut up the task into each one of the objects defined in the OWL Ontology [1], and try to see if we can find the closest serialisation of it to the
current Atom format. This will probably help reveal flaws in the OWL ontology, the proposed serialization, and perhaps even in the Atom spec.
I will be contributing a little every day or so, as I get some time off from writing BlogEd.

[1] I use the new Atom.owl spec I have made available at http://bblfish.net/work/atom-owl/2004-11-09/Atom.owl http://bblfish.net/work/atom-owl/2004-11-09/Atom.html (ignore the W3C Recommendation on the right hand side :-)
