I was just thinking that this is about the only feature completely
unsupported in ZideLook;  maybe if it was added to OGo it might someday
get supported in ZideLook.  Would be nice.  But of course the ZideLook
people will decide all that on their own.

Yep.  But I don't see that as a problem there are already lots of
quasi-standards relating to working with a journal.

I've got bits of journal support (LSNewJournalEntryCommand,
LSSetJournalEntryCommand, LSDeleteJournalEntryCommand, etc...) - working
out exactly how OGo put all the layers together is interesting. :)  But
I'm just interested in this for ZOGI (http://code.google.com/p/zogi/) &
Consonance (http://code.google.com/p/consonance/).  If someone is
interested in adding a journal application to the WebUI that would be
very cool.

I wasn't dissing BLOGs with "the <cough>standard</cough> BLOG APIs" I
was referring to the standard BLOG APIs such as Blogger (already
supported to some degree in ZideStore, see ZideStore/Protocols/Blogger
in the source).  Everyone implements these at least a wee-bit
differently.  Of course the same charge can be leveled against XML-RPC
as well.  (Blogger is theoretically replaced by ATOM -

http://www.blogger.com/developers/api/1_docs/ ) But that is all really
an aside to this discussion.
