I've written up a replacement for the authentication section of the Atom protocol: http://intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/PaceAuthentication.

But even if not, at least everyone elsewill have a minimal fallback for authentication.
Note that the proposal also allows servers to require authenticationfor comments -- something that would be a helpful building block infighting comment spam.
