I tried this and it does work. However, the Name and URL of posted comments was not the ones set by 'author', but the user used for login. As a result, the author of every comment would be the blog's host himself...
Well, this method could be fairly useful, especially for the situation like me. I and most of my visitors cannot access beta.blogger.com directly from the Internet connection we're using. By this way I can deploy a servlet on my server to submit comments as a proxy.
Although it's not officially supported, it would be great if it could work correctly, as it can already help me a lot.

Thanks for your feedback. This is something we will consider when/if we officially support posting to the comments feed.
I am looking for a way to do exactly this as well. I am attempting to migrate an existing blog of mine (including comments) to a blogger blog. I am currently able to get my posts to migrate over, but I have not been successfully able to post a comment through code yet.
I just found out about this GData .NET API...I had hacked something together using the assemblies from Windows Live Writer :)
