Thanks! This is an important entry point, since it provides a client
app a way to get the post ids, which are essential for the basic entry
points.

The spec says:
"If numberOfPosts is greater than the number of posts in the weblog
you get all the posts in the weblog."

In practice, this request would time out for any high value of
numberofPosts. Would it be acceptable for a server-side application
to send only post ids for values of numberofPosts >=100?

The reason I ask is that I'm looking for a way to get all the postids
from a blog. Perhaps there's another way of doing that?

Best regards,
