An RSS 2.0 feed for comments.

Well, I've finally gotten some time do something with my blog.
(Or more accurately, my wife has decided that she doesn't have
 time to maintain a journal anymore, and so she's started posting
 to the blog, and now I feel that I have to maintain it.  ;)

So, I've upgraded to the 8.1 release:
http://roughingit.subtlehints.net/pyblosxom/weblogs/tools/pyblosxom/pyblosxo
m-0.8.1.html
with Ted Leung's patches to comment.py:
http://www.sauria.com/~twl/code/python/pyblosxom/pyblosxom-ecto/
and I've subscribed to http://weblog.latte.ca/index.xml in my
RSS reader:
http://www.rssbandit.org/

Now, the question.

RssBandit has the "Ability to view comments posted in response
to news items on sites that support the wfw:commentRss element":
http://www.sellsbrothers.com/spout/#exposingRssComments
So, is there any way to get an RSS 2.0 feed of the comments for
a particular article, so that I can stuff that url into the
wfw:commentsRss element of my RSS 2.0 feed?

I notice, furthermore, that if you try to do a get on the
commentAPI.cgi:
http://www.latte.ca/cgi-bin/commentAPI.cgi/amy/everythingelse/040120
it gives you back an error message.  Perhaps this could be changed
to return the RSS 2.0 feed of comments on an entry if there wasn't
an RSS item passed in?

Thoughts?  Does anyone who's a little more familiar with the code
want to take a crack at this, before I completely mess it up?

Thanks,
Blake.
