Comment (by brianlayman):

 I've attached the patch that I worked on too.  Reviewing the two, my
 implementation is very similar to Otto's.

 The main differences are:
 * Otto used a textarea vs edit field.
 * The name site_description vs blog description (I thought of using site
 description, but did not to avoid any multi-site confusion, but since its
 now site/network vs blog/site that's moot)
 * In the filters Otto used the type 'meta' and I don't think that is used
 anywhere else. I stuck with html, xhtml & comment.
 * His filter is added a little higher.
 * I don't return any html/whatever if there is no value stored for the
 description.
 * I added a description to the help in the help.
 * I added XMLRPC support (untested)
 * I added stub for a default value so that we could find it later if we
 decided to have a default value, but that likely will be dropped.

 I think that's it.
