Comment:

 Attached removes some useless stripslashes() calls in blogger.getPost and
 blogger.getRecentPosts.

 That said, the 'spec' for those two methods is terrible.  Title and
 categories have to be included in the struct's content parameter, each
 enclosed in an encoded XML tag.  So the title and categories technically
 should be doubly encoded, but WP doesn't do that, and doing so would
 probably break any clients that use these methods.

 Encourage your client's author to switch to metaWeblog.*
