Word 2007 to feature blogging capability?

The blog post itself was generated in a beta version of Word 2007, and Friend encourages everyone to use the “View…Source” menu to see what he is talking about. The HTML still has the feel of a machine-generated algorithm, and comes up with very strange names for some of its class id’s, but it makes full use of CSS and is remarkably clean and readable. This is not your grandfather’s Word HTML.

This is a relief, especially since Word and Frontpage are a few of the most notorious HTML-capable programs on the market. Ars Technica notes that Word 2007 will support many popular blogging applications. Hopefully the final shipped version will support adding your own to the list.
