doPublish in MetaWeblog API

I’ve built a blog editor that imports all your posts from WP.

Trouble is, WP doesn’t report whether an individual post is in draft or publish mode. I’m requesting that WP report a doPublish parameter, type boolean, in the responses for metaWeblog.getPost and metaWeblog.getRecentPosts.

After:

<member><name>mt_allow_pings</name><value><int>1</int></value></member>

Add:

<member><name>doPublish</name><value><int>1</int></value></member>

If this requires an API extension, so be it. Next gen tools will store all your posts locally for quick editing, and whether a post is a draft is critical info.

Thanks.
