How would you handle nested comments like in Digg for example?

Just curious how that fits into the model -- I suppose it would map to
what you described?

Completely logical.

Each individual comment is nothing more than a weblog post.
The only technical difference is that it is not made on another
weblog, but directly on the weblog of the person.

Each individual comment is structured like a weblog post.
It has  (required)
        - an id, the URI of the comment
        - a title, often the same than the original weblog post, sometimes a
different (see SPIP)
        - a date when it has been done (updated)
It has (recommended)
        - often an author
        - content (core text of the comment)
        - link (the URI of the Weblog original post we are commenting on)

It just miss a summary, but that is not mandatory in Atom either.

IMHO, it should be an individual hatom entry for each comment, The
way everything is aggregated and organized has a full feed is another
debate. The date and link should help to create a pseudo thread.
It could be a full thread like in SPIP when the commenter has the
possibility to reply to a specific comment in this case the link
becomes the URI of the specific comment.
