it would be nice if your api accepted named members as parameters as there
are a few legacy coldfusion apps out there (pre-Coldfusion MX) that only
have the RPC client created by jrobb that uses these available.

Granted, that could be rewritten, but its a one to many thing, a single
rewrite or addition of an alternative api at fyuze that accepts named
members - or many rewrites of RPC clients.

I think the point is that its not the content of weblogs.com that should be
mirrored (eg name, url), but the api, as its tried and tested.

also, all other publishers that currently invoke weblogs pinging will be
able to add a new ping for fyuze quickly and easily...
