 * Noticed this in 1.0.1, but apparently it is present in the 1.0 code as well, 
   and has not been addressed in the latest nightlies.
    So in xmlrpc.php, the wp_insert_post
   needs to be modified with $post_name = sanitize_title($post_title); and the insert
   query needs to be modified with post_name (post_author, post_date, post_content,
   post_title, post_excerpt, post_category, post_status, post_name) VALUES(‘$post_author’,’
   $post_date’,’$post_content’,’$post_title’, ‘$post_excerpt’,’$post_cat’, ‘$post_status’,’
   $post_name’)”; I noticed this when using Bloggar to add a post to my blog and
   the dashed title wasn’t showing up in the url.

 * Have you tried the CVS? Dougal committed a bunch of fixes to XMLRPC last night.
