Thanks for writing this up Jeff, we need this!
I know you're trying to simplify this, and that's good, but it seems
like you are missing an important piece.
A Roller weblog has a user, but that user is simply the user that
created the weblog and is NOT necessarily the "owner" of the weblog.
In fact, now that we have multiple users per blog, a blog can have
multiple admin users. So you can't set the owner of a weblog by
passing in just one username, unless you want to limit the protocol
to ONLY creating weblogs and allow no other operations on weblogs.
You have this:
GET all users
POST a new user
PUT user
DELETE user
And this:
GET all weblogs
POST a new weblog
PUT weblog
DELETE weblog
But is seems you also need this:
GET all users in weblog X
POST a new user in weblog X
PUT user (to change user's permission in weblog X)
DELETE user from weblog X
