MetaWeblogAPI is (IIRC) a somewhat old and crufty standard.  I believe
the current "best of breed" remote publishing protcol is AtomPub.  I
know Tom Lazar is pretty excited about it.  If we were to focus effort
on something forward-looking, it would probably be best to focus on
AtomPub, since that seems to be where things are headed.

FWIW, I have successfully used remote blogging clients to publish to
Quills 1.5 via MetaWeblogAPI.  It's neat.  I haven't used anything
powered by the new quills.remoteblogging package, though.

best,
