Here's a starting point. Someone sent me a plugin to do comments as an  
RSS feed.  I don't think the feed supports the wfw stuff -- honestly I  
haven't been paying much attention to this part (cool as it is) because  
only a few aggregators support it, and I'm hoping that this sort of  
functionality will be done better in Atom.

I think that before you take a crack at this, I should check in my  
comment system changes, unless you have some objection to that..
