Absolutely correct David,  It should really be rev...

a rev-reply link would say that This entry(or page) is a reply to the 
referenced url.....

so was I, but the examples don't just cover blogs. A  few more examples 
added to the existing examples showing a "comment-url" in a comment and 
I would say 80% is definitely achievable.

Some more examples that really need adding to this format are when the 
entire page is a reply or response to another page, Im sure you have 
seen pages that begin with something like..."I read this post about..." 
and a link to the post?

Correct, although 60% of the examples do use @id which relative url's 
can be generated from.
