I don't remember seeing it when I read the spec last year, and Tim Bray thought that filtering and formatting was a known problem when I asked him a couple weeks ago. It doesn't really make a difference in this case, though-we're talking about serializing the whole blog to an Atom-based XML file, which is kind of orthogonal to the Atom Publishing Protocol. I don't believe there's any standardized way to handle comments and trackbacks via APP, so building a generic blog sync tool via APP isn't really possible, either.
