I don't see why you feel the need to create a new schema "which
re-uses hAtom terms".
because it is desirable for people to be able to track comments that
they have made on other peoples blogs, as well as keep track of comments
made on their own blog, without having to re-visit the blog to check on
responses...
What's wrong with simply using hAtom as it is (possibly with the
addition of Sarven's "in-reply-to" proposal)?
because a "comment" does not fit into the concept of a hEntry, comments
lack the entry-title element, in fact a "title" it is almost
non-existent in a comment.
I like Sarvens Idea to use Atom Extensions, But I have issues with
in-reply-to because its not a part of the Atom spec and may require
extra prefixing(namespacing) for it to be represented correctly in hAtom
terms,
There is no need to re-invent the wheel each time for feeds of
comments, feeds of opinions, feeds of jokes, feeds of poems, feeds of
witty Groucho Marx quotations, etc. Start within hAtom as a base and
refine it for your needs, adding additional terms only if strictly needed,
That is exactly what the schema proposes!
but not removing anything.
Which I havent....
That way, the majority of your format will be parsable with standard
hAtom tools
The majority of the proposed comment schema[1] will work with standard
hAtom tools
....
Thanks
