Hi Leon,
I'm just getting a chance to play around with this now, so I'm sorry for
the delay in responding.
Excerpts from leon breedt's mail of 26 Jul 2005 (EDT):

Thanks! This looks good. I'm eager to commit this---I want trackbacks
too---but you've brought up such very excellent points below.

I think that's a good idea. It's easy to customize comment and trackback
types at the user level, but for trackbacks in particular, Hobix::Entry
really doesn't make that much sense.
How about sticking something like this right in trackbacks.rb:
class Trackback
include BaseProperties
_! 'Trackback Information'
_ :blog_name
_ :url
_ :title
_ :excerpt
end
(This would also eliminate the FieldMap thing, which is nice.)
Sen~or _why? Others? Comments?

If we're doing it for trackbacks, I say make a type for comments too. I
can't think of a reason for either to be Hobix::Entry objects, or even
the same object, except the absence of anything better.
Thoughts?
