That's great Toby! Having some hands on response is useful. Here is my understanding of rel="in-reply-to" and why that alone is sufficient to indicate that an hentry is a response to another hentry (anywhere). Commonly: * chronological comments (e.g., Wordpress) * threaded comments (e.g., Slashdot) * a blog entry as a reaction to another blog entry (e.g., Technorati) Advantages: * Creates a single instance of a comment [1] * Minimal set of requirements * Applicable to various forms of replies Disadvantages: * @id required In the wild, the requirement of @id is not an issue because it is already widely used in comments [2]. I would like to understand what's the main reason preventing us from taking this route and wrapping this up. Could anyone outline the (dis)advantages of alternative solutions and so we can have an overview and compare where we are at?
