Comment:
Maybe throw search engines and bloggers a bone by developing something like a
&quot;comments&quot; or &quot;feedback&quot; element.  Basically an element to house content that
states that this section is outside of the author&apos;s control and therefore
links and content in this section should be treated differently than that of
the rest of the site.

I think the HTML specification should be doing something to help fight the
ever rising tides of spam.  The only weapon right now is rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; and
that doesn&apos;t stop search engines from attributing spammy content to a page and
following said links
