Ehem, hem, hem ehem... | The Atom API is a specification that leverages the Atom feed | format in a content editing API. Look for Atom feed format support in blogapi.module. Read this for comparision of the APIs supported now by blogapi.module and the Atom API: http://www.xml.com/lpt/a/2003/10/15/dive.html Then search for [desktop] clients supporting the Atom API (there are a few).

As I have just written a blog API client module, I can tell that the world is rushing towards Atom. So, providing an ancient API server is not bad, but not core worthy any more.
Think about the other end, the clients connecting to this blogger API server. There are a multitude of blogger API / metaweblog API / movabletype API clients. What about *Atom API* clients? Note to those quick reading, Atom API is not the Atom syndication format, but the publishing protocol.
