Heh, well if the blockquote approach is considered overkill, you'll choke on what I actually use for my comments... Andrew said: This is my comment. It is the definition of 'Andrew said' within this context. Comment posted on: 9:15 am, 28th of May

Re: [WSG] Definition lists for comments in blogs

If we are to follow the W3C example of using DLs to mark up dialogues, there's not much wrong with using a definition list for comments. Infact, it seems a very appropriate use of the element. However, your use of an unordered list with blockqoutes is very interesting too. I guess this is a matte
