+0.5, I have no real problem with id but as it seems to bother some people…

I wouldn't understand what really does mean the following:
<link rel="replies" href="comments.html" type="text/html" thr:count="5" />
<link rel="replies" href="comments.atom" type="application/atom+xml"
thr:count="10" />
Without the thr:count, I'd say that those two links are intended for
client-side content negotiation, but given that the two thr:count
values differ… would it mean that there have been 5 new comments since
the text/html representation has been last updated? But what if there
were a thr:when indicating the opposite?

And Rob Sayre also pointed on his blog a potential problem on how to
use such multiple values: "How do I display that in a client? Do I add
up the numbers? Pick the highest? Do I pick the latest or the earliest
time?". [http://www.franklinmint.fm/blog/archives/000721.html]
I know what your answer is [http://www.snellspace.com/wp/?p=297] but I
also think that these are entry properties, not really link properties
(so I disagree with you on "First, The thr:count and thr:when
properties are specific to the replies link upon which they appear."
[http://www.snellspace.com/wp/?p=296]).
