It's for the beginning of the comment block on your web-site.  My 
comment-story.html template has:

    <div class="blosxomComments">

Here's a breakdown of what templates do what when using comments:

<div class="news">           <- story.html
<h2>$title</h2>               |
<div class="content">         |
...                           |
</div>                        |
links                         |
</div>                       <-
<div class="comments">       <- comment-story.html
<div class="comment">        <- comment.html
Posted by $blah at $blah      |
$blah                         |
</div>                       <-
<div class="comment">        <- comment.html
Posted by $blah at $blah      |
$blah                         |
</div>                       <-
<div class="commentform">    <- comment-form.html
form stuff here.              |
</div>                        |
</div>                       <-

Explanation (albeit brief) is here:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pyblosxom.user/889/match=comment+-story

Basically it's doing what it was written to do.  We're interested in 
changing the behavior.  If you (or anyone else) want to change it and send 
in a patch--that'd be cool otherwise it's going to sit on the backburner.
