Also, I, too, use MT and the modification to the RSS template is trivial for what I suggested above. (My relevant feed is here.) Been meaning to add documentation on that...
Patrick,
Not sure if you found this out yet or not, but our friend David Moles does indeed have RSS syndication. It's the default MovableType feed.
As for RSS's shortcoming in addressing comments, I've encountered such concerns when I created journal-walker, an RSS aggregator of sorts (though it takes into account many journals without RSS feeds). Along with Kenny Smith (creator of JournalScape), we've created a module that addresses comments. I don't think we have formal documentation of it yet, but it's fairly simple and straightforward. Granted, adoption of a proposed standard is the only thing that gives it much meaning in the wider world. See Greg van Eekhout's feed for an example. When it can, j-walker uses the additional comments-module tags to obtain the link to and number of comments for each entry.
