I've adjusted the spec's definition more in line with this.

As James on IRC pointed out:

   http://intertwingly.net/blog/comments.html
   http://firehose.diveintomark.org/
   http://www.zeldman.com/comments/feed/

Also, consider Twitter, Reddit, most forums, etc, where individual 
comments are definitely syndicated.


cite="" was removed because it's already possible to include a permalink 
using <a>, by the way:

   <a href="/1234" rel="bookmark">#</a>
