I really should re-read it, but I'm pretty sure the Atom blog API stuff deals with getting the raw data out from the blog so you can edit it. And you can request more than just the last 10 or 15 posts or so - you can request chunks going back until the beginning.

So I would hold of discussion on this until we can verify whether the Atom blog API does in fact do everything you want.

It seems to me that the rational thing to do would be to have a "pure"

Atom feed, including HTML for each entry, and then add an 'export'

namespace and use tags like '<export:description>' to include the

original markup, as well as other fields that don't map into standard

Atom (comments open, trackbacks, etc).  I'm not sure if static

content, comments, and trackbacks would be better as more entries with

a special type flag or as their own tag.


I suspect that we could get a few prominent non-Typo XML people

involved in this pretty quickly, if we can sit down and produce a

first draft of the standard.
