SubscribeWhich microformat to use for maximum co.mments compatibility
I recently reviewed three comment tracking systems and co.mments was my personal winner. It was able to track all comments except for my own blog which uses a non common comment system written by me.
I read a little bit into the different microformats that are currently in the wild to markup comments and want to add one of them into my tool. The question is which of these formats does co.mments understand? If multiple, which is preferred?
To me the non-official mfComment format looks most complete and sane. Is it supported by co.mments?

Hmm, an official answer would have been great.
Anyway - I experimented a bit and found that giving the surrounding element of a comment an id having the form id=”comment-XY” seems to work with co.mments tracking mechanism. XY could be your internal comment ID and should be different for each comment on a page-
FYI that’s what Wordpress does, so it’s probably supported by other comment tracking services as well.
