I think that will vary for each style of implementation.  Rather than having
everyone need to use the same XML/data format, I suggest the requirement
simply be the persistence should be pluggable -- perhaps with an agreed upon
API (or, at least, a single API for each "baked dish").

In addition to the functionality of the blog itself, I think this exercise
would benefit from explicitly creating some modular (as in, reusable)
functionality for common application functions like:

1) User Authentication/Authorization (for the back-end) -- perhaps agreeing
there are two "user types" ("god" users and content publishers, perhaps)

2) Form/Data validation and the resulting error/notification messages showed
to the user.
