I don't see why you feel the need to create a new schema "which re- 
uses hAtom terms". What's wrong with simply using hAtom as it is  
(possibly with the addition of Sarven's "in-reply-to" proposal)?  
There is no need to re-invent the wheel each time for feeds of  
comments, feeds of opinions, feeds of jokes, feeds of poems, feeds of  
witty Groucho Marx quotations, etc. Start within hAtom as a base and  
refine it for your needs, adding additional terms only if strictly  
needed, but not removing anything. That way, the majority of your  
format will be parsable with standard hAtom tools without everyone  
needing to write new hGrouchoMarxQuote parsers.
