David, 40% of the examples used have a permalink something like this

http://someblog.com/post#comment-001

A hash uri reference

rel="reply" can be hung on this link because the url tells us two things

1,  the origional post, http://someblog.com/post
2,  and the location of the comment,  comment-001

by defining TWO dereferenceable URI's  one using a slash uri scheme 
http://someblog.com/post  => rel="reply"
and the other using a hash URI scheme 
http://someblog.com/post#comment-001 => rel="bookmark"

and combining them rel="reply bookmark"

This can be used to say that a hAtom entry is a Comment, nothing more is 
needed,  It wouldn't therefore be difficult for any "future" hatom 
parser to extract just the comments because all it has to do is look for 
the hentry's that have a rel-reply link, this is (in my view) the 
simplest option for a comment format, nothing else is needed, and its 
fairly low on the cognitive load,  nesting feeds, this simply is not 
anything to do with "a comment" sorry.
