Thanks for the reply. Does anyone know if Google plans to fix this? I
can't imagine a scenario in which someone would benefit from the
current implementation.

I'm a new user of the Blogger Data API, and I'm a little confused
about the API for comment creation. The protocol docs say:
"Note: Currently, you can only post comments to a blog owned by the
authenticated user."
Which, along with the example provided, suggest that you can only
really post comments under your own name/account to a blog that you
own. This seems kind of useless to me... Wouldn't it make more sense
to do one or the other? In other words, you can post under any name
to a blog that you own, or you post under your own name (i.e. google
account) to a blog owned by anyone?
Am I understanding this correctly? If so, can someone explain the
rationale of this approach? Are there any plans to change it?
You're correct. The comment posting API via GData is not tremendously
useful in its present state.
