I like the nested replies - i.e. the concept of an Entry Replies

I don't see the benefit in the later format
The advantage of the flattened formats is that all the comments,
regardless of how many levels of nesting are used, remain within the
same hfeed.
If you're interested in showing the relationship between "a comment"
and what-is-being-commented-on, I opened every single example in
comment-examples [2] and every single one (excepting Haloscan, which
seem to be utterly isolated from posting context) uses document
structure to show the relationship. None that I noticed had a A.href
link that a "rel-in-reply-to" could be hung on to.
Slashdot has links from comments to the "Parent" comment. So does
Reddit. Twitter has (off-page) links from responses to the status
update they are in response to.
Whatsmore, many blog posts themselves are in fact replies to blog
posts on other sites. rel="in-reply-to" is also useful for that
situation.
