This reminds me of a meta-discussion we had on the mailing list before, I think, we even had closed beta ... it was about APIs for external editors and about how own own posting interfaces (quick post, post editor, content importer, etc.) should use our APIs as well because it was an excellent way to force us to keep the APIs up to date.
I have a better idea now of how much of an unbelievably HUGE job it would be to make this happen, but I was thinking about it the other day because when I was debugging for the epic tag-limit-on-crossposting bug I hit code that actually had SQL queries in it and that really surprised me that there was raw SQL at that level of abstraction.
So yes, I'm very much interested in this area! If I had the brain power to even start to begin to abstract things out of DW I'd be doing it I think, it's definitely an inch I want to scratch :)
