Psst....Qumana (even the LE version) has spell check and you can save your posts for later. ;-). I agree, though, blogs need to be part of the whole publishing schema. I don't think, though, that our "friends" in Redmond are going to be quick to support all the APIs out there. They might pick one or two and, essentially, tell everyone adapt or die. Yeah, this might be cynical, but they have that track record already.
