One possible approach you could take would be to leverage the Feed
Thread Extension "replies" link and drop an app:collection element in
the comments feed.
example:
<entry>
...
<link rel="replies" href="/comments?entry=foo" />
...
</entry>
In the comments feed:
<feed>
...
<app:collection title="Comments"
href="/edit/comments?entry=foo" />
...
</feed>
Someone would look for the replies link to determine where to find the
comments thread, then look for the app:collection element in that feed
to determine where to post.
Creating the comments feed is easy [1], adding an app:collection to that
feed would be even easier.
