Comment (by benn333):

 I dug up and read through some of Google's documentation on the new Google
 accounts:
 http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/blogger.html#Migrated
 http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/AuthForWebApps.html

 It looks like blogger.php could be updated with a check if the blog to
 import is running the old or beta version of Blogger. If the beta is
 discovered, blogger.php could request a session token. The user will have
 to be redirected to a Google page to authenticate that it is their
 account. Once that's done, they can be redirected back to their blog with
 a Token for further use.

 This is as far as I've looked so far. It's possible that the current
 blogger.php code for pulling down the posts/comments will still work once
 authentication is passed. I suppose we can cross that bridge once we come
 to it. (I believe you're right that Atom doesn't include comments.)
