One thing to add to this, I know that both RSS and Atom have ways of specifying where set "get" and "add" comments. So it would be "nice" if that could be set in the feeds too.

-- Well I think its important to remember the difference between an individual who is linking in order to 'revlog' somehting he enjoied and a comercial site linking so as to gain traffic / members.
But as an individual ... sure I think it's ok so long as you obey the copyright.
When I revlog here's how I do it:
With permission, I ....
I provide a thumbnailed link to the video
I plaster information about the origional post/site all over my post,
I encourage users to visit the origional source and comment there.
I disable comments on my post (so as to further encource discussion of this video to happen at the producers site)

I have been including them in my feeds. I guess I considered this as something the origional poster would want. However usually the origional posters url and stuff is in the actual video itself.
I haven't embeded any 'revlogs' as I felt that discourages the vistors from going to visit the origional content. But I wouldn't be too upset if someone embeded my video elsewhere (linking to my media permalink) so long as they provided attribution.
Most of us are getting free or next to free hosting ... so if the hot-linking is done in a good faith mannor and attribution is given, I think it's ok. Of course it never hurts and always a good idea to let the person know you'd like to link to a video of theirs ... they'll often give you the ok.
