We've actually had a few proposals along this line. The proposals 
were a bit premature, as we need to do some research on current 
comments practice first (see http://microformats.org/wiki/process for 
guidelines on how to go about developing a microformat).
And to take a step back, this page documents current comment practice:
http://microformats.org/wiki/comments-formats
Feel free to add your own observations to that page.
Just FYI, here are the proposals (don't worry about them at this point):
http://microformats.org/wiki/mfcomment
http://microformats.org/wiki/hcomment

Look at the comments-formats page. Talk to others who are interested 
in it (esp. on this list). Research, propose, iterate.
