right - but the point is that this already exists in the xmlrpc api
that's already present - so no additional scripts need to be added
beyond your existing blog.

No you're not wrong, but we're assuming that the person who wants to
blog, has a blog setup already. If they haven't got one, they can't
blog period.
Now if they have one, it will likely have the xmlrpc blog api supported.
Assuming they have this the multiple post and reassemble in html with
work without additional scripts. this is important because people may
be using a blog service and not have access to install additional
scripts on the server.
I'm not saying that adding a script to handle multiple posts and
re-assemble an image is difficult, I'm just saying it will exclude some
potential users.
Everything I say should make sense if you assume that a person already
has xmlrpc blog scripts on the blog they want to post to.
