Description

In RSS 2.0 feeds we use the <comment> element to indicate where one can post comments in response to an entry.

<comments>$utils.textToHTML($entry.commentLink)</comments>

In Atom, there's no standard element to do that, but there is a standard extension: the Atom Threading Extension. Let's use it. Here's the spec: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4685.txt. And here's what it would look like in a Roller feed.

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'
xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>
...
<entry>
<link rel='replies' thr:count='2' type='application/xhtml+xml' href='Startup-Camp#comments' />
