Structured blogging initiative

What should Drupal community do to support this ? We should be in a great position to integrate it all over, better than WordPress / MovableType:

Beyond blogging
Bryght was a joint partner in the press release. We've had early access to the plugins, but there are some issues with the implementation. It was targetted for very simple systems that had to ship the editing interface along with the data model. Everything ends up in a regular blog post.
Since Drupal natively supports these types, it's a matter of making sure that we support the same data output schemas. The schemas are generated (sort of)...we need to get some more clarity about how this data will flow between systems.
Potentially we can support input of these types via Drupal's core aggregator or aggregator2 as well.
Events and audio/playlists are the two areas that we're interested in focusing on first.

Clearly there is a difference between adding mark-up to blog post vs. storing separate content types in DB, as Drupal does. But it should be possible to build bridges to support it both ways.
The real priority should be interoperability with what is out there. WordPress and MovableType are used by most of pro-bloggers. This is unlikelly to change for quite some time, so we need to fit into de-facto infrastructure of the blogosphere.
As an aside, I think aggregator2 should be part of the core.
