Well, yes, this is a bit confusing. One needs to distinguish between  
retrieval protocols and editing ones.

Retrieval:
- RSS  (plain XML/RDF, some RSS 0.9/1.0/2.0/etc exist)
- Atom (plain XML)

Editing:
- metaWebLog (XML-RPC based)
- also Atom (plain XML)
- xyz

Supporting those protocols itself is not particulary hard or complex.  
For retrieval I guess RSS is all you need (and we already have that).  
And for editing I suppose everyone uses web interfaces, not native apps.
