I think the issue of confusion outweighs the usefulness. The code has
to support many possible blog engines/types to connect to, but a
1-to-1 relationship between each course blog (oublog "instance" in
moodle parlance) and an external blog is sane, simple and
non-confusing.

Agreed here too. All blog posts are "local" and have the option of
being "on the internet-based blog" too. That will help to keep things
simple in the UI, and not have to explain too many things...
