Does the Blogger format (which I was championing) cripple their functionality? Just curious....

I hadn't looked at the Blogger format until you posted that link. Once I saw it, though, I realised it was so laughingly bad, I just had to steal the idea for my April Fools' Day blog post (although maybe it wasn't that funny if you thought the format had any merit at all).
Having done that, I kind of forgot abut this thread, but I think it's probably best if I stay out of this discussion anyway. My interest in the archive format is somewhat tangential to the problem you're trying to solve.
However, I'd be grateful if everyone could try and avoid recommending their worst ideas as "best practices". That just makes my life more difficult.
