The Eighty-Twenty Solution

I noticed Ross Rader talking about the RSS textInput element. I actually had a request to support this a couple weeks ago. Looking at the spec, it seems like something one could implement fairly easily. Come to think of it, you could probably enable comments that way, as an alternative to the Comment API. The problem seems to be that it's excessively generic. You'd have to be really careful on the server about parsing your input. Though I suppose that's always the case.
