West coast, actually, getting late here as well. No idea how wide
microformat adoption is in israel... :)

I'm trying to accommodate an existing system that I have little control
over. I might have URI to access a specific comment but I want to be
ready for the case that I don't. I'll definitely know more tomorrow. If
I do not have a URI for the comment, this becomes complicated as the
main use for the microformat will be in RSS. I don't know if I can point
to a specific anchor in an RSS file but that's beyond the scope of this
discussion anyway. I like the idea of having the textual content in-line
with the tags, it seems better from a presentation standpoint but I can
always hack it into place somehow.

No problem. I know how hard it is to change a format that's already in
use. 

Thanks,
