Had a meeting this evening, bunch of prominent party bloggers talking crap. Spent a good ten minutes talking through why LJ (and now DW) is so much better than Blogger and merely different to the other prominent platforms.
Other things I'd like in my "proper blogging" wishlist would be aggregator pinging (maybe a deal with automattic, they ping everywhere for you if you've got a WP install), and sidebar widget embeds for things like Twitter and Delicious. Easy incoming links tracking is good service, not pingbacks, pointless, but technorati/icerocket stuff, etc.
Styled profile/about pages would also be fairly essential—in fact, static pages generally would be good.

But like you said, wishlist for down the line.
