But Mark that was my point. In order to really save time and decrease complexity you need to agree on the data. If there is no agreement then integration of my editor is about of the same complexity in both cases regardless of your logarithms ;-)

And, btw, the fact that APP and GData are on the Web proves there is a further need for simplification beyond REST academia.

All I see is that if I want to support one more blog server ('the new service added to the system') I just need to write new integratoin code into my editor. In both cases.

Not if all the blogging systems support the same interface & data
formats, right? Then you just need to "point" your already developed
code at the new system.

So what domain can't you use APP (or GData, which is based on APP) for?

BTW, both APP and GData are on the Web.

Mark.
