I would like to add that one of the key problems about a "comment" is "How
do you track blog comments you've made? "
If you explicitly detach the comments from the article by presenting the the
comments and the article in two separate feed elements, you break the
conversation, in other words the subject of the conversation(the article or
blog post) should explicitly remain with the conversation itself, this saves
the subscriber of a feed having to visit the webpage again, just to find out
what the conversation(comment) is about.
Two _nested_ Feeds. The Comment:Entry is nested in the Comments:Feed
nested in the Blog:Entry in the (optional) Blog:Feed
"the Feed element is optional and, if missing, is assumed to be the page"
http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom#Feed
from the atom spec:
http://www.atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/atom-format-spec.php#rfc.section.4.1.1
"The "atom:feed" element is the document (i.e., top-level) element of an
Atom Feed Document"
That being said the atom spec also says about content...
"If the value of "type" is an XML media type [RFC3023] or ends with
"+xml" or "/xml" (case insensitive), the content of
atom:content MAY include child elements and SHOULD be suitable for
handling as the indicated media type"
which is interesting I think, does this include <feed /> elements?
BTW: Blogger just makes up a title [1] for comments
Regard, etc...
