I don't know how much intelligence we expect an Atom Processor to have,
but if it is aware of the discussion technology referred to by a link
then it could gather and display relevant meta-information about the
discussion venue (such as the number of participants in an IRC channel
or XMPP groupchat room), fetch the last few threads or the messages in
the current thread from a newsgroup or webforum and display a summary of
that information (e.g., if there is a specific thread about the Atom
feed or entry referred to in the link), etc.
