Advisable is not SHOULD or MUST though. The latter part of my comment
is probably the important thing ... let's have a look at some Atom
published comment feeds (I suspect Blogger/Blogspot does this) and see
what the current use consensus is.
they usually build something contextual from the comment...

.... are a few examples, the only thing they all really have in common
is the authors Name.
To exclude the entry-title element I would recommend a comment use the value
of "fn" presented in a contextual way eg:
by Author
Author said
Author says
etc...
This seems overly prescriptive to me, but even then: if we think this
is a good idea, why not just infer this if there's no entry-title.
I don't know David nothing really, the only real answer I can give to
this Is if you look at the feed examples above (and any other feed),
none of the titles are empty and to be honest I have never really seen
it in practice.
Thanks
Regards, etc...
