What makes me wonder here is if there's a way to generally differentiate comments from post text. I can see some possibilities offhand, but it sounds to me like a regexp nightmare. :( Phil:

You're right though, it could be a big problem. Unfortunately, differentiating comments from posts in a page of html is a whole other level of complexity away from what I'm planning for the next iteration of the spider. Thanks for putting it on my radar though. As a site author, I think I'd want to be able to automatically strip any rel attributes out of links in comments in order to avoid that kind of issue.

He noted that folks really should only XFN on their own sites. I get his point, but to be honest, I consider the comments that I make on others' sites to be mine and not theirs---it's something that I've contributed, ya know? It's just one of those trial balloons that popped into my head. It'll be interesting to see how much XFN takes hold in the next few months, eh? After I posted it, I showed it to Matt.

I think it's definitely an interesting scenario - the comments and posts need to be somehow related to their respective authors I guess.
