Is there a reason for the RSS 2.0 being the only syndication format which provides a feed for comments ?

RSS2.0 supports the wfw:commentApi which is suggested for the kind of comments. So 0.91 would fall out of that namespaces, we could integrate it for 1.0, but that would just be a bit of overhead.
Let's ask it the other way around: Do you need the comments in another format than RSS 2.0?

Hi Garvin,
in fact I thought the entries and the comments feed were build the same way but with content coming from different sources.
Do you mean that the comments have to be included in the format scheme to be available ?
BTW I do not know what is the wfw:commentApi.
Maybe I should wait for the documentation instead of disturbing you.

Yes, they are built the same way. It even works if you use rss.php?version=1.0&type=comments or other version= parameters. Funny thing, I forgot about that.
