>What doesn't it solve?

It solves the questions NetNewsWire has -- what APIs are supported, what's the blogID of a site, and what are the service URLs. Those are the hard things to configure, and those are answered here.

>Do you agree that our intent is to have these files produced by the weblog software, eventually?

Absolutely, yes, completely, totally, indeed.

Sooner rather than later would be my preference.

Another issue -- how do we discover the discovery? Daniel mentioned the idea of having a link embedded in one's home page, just as we have a link that points to the RSS file (for RSS discovery). This works for me -- it means you'd point your weblog editor to the home page of your site, your editor would find the link to the rsd document, it would read the rsd document, then it would configure itself. That's exactly the kind of user experience one wants.

        Allrighty, blogID is an attribute. Should all the attributes be required? Maybe blogID should be optional?
