I've updated the draft of the comments extension. I think this is just
about ready to submit as an I-D.

The major change is a refactoring of the in-reply-to and replies-source
following the extensive discussion here on the list.

The second feed illustrates the two forms of the in-reply-to element.
The dereferenceable form uses the href attribute to locate the entity
being responded to. The nondereferenceable form uses a combination of a
required id attribute and an optional src attribute.
I'll likely go ahead and submit this as an I-D in the morning.
As always, comments welcome.
