It appears that the default filter is set using the form api. For this reason, the filter will only be set if a piece of content is created using the standard Drupal form. Posts from other sources, like XML-RPC, are not affected. If the module worked at a lower level, it would be useful to those who want to post using blog editors like ecto and MarsEdit.

You're right. However, I do not think there is a safe way for this module to alter the behavior of XML-RPC modules such as blogapi without cooperation from those modules. Anything that I tried to do would end up being very special-cased and therefore probably quite error-prone.
