FWIW, each comment does already have its own URL; comments are proper content items like everything else on the site. Your comment, for example, can be found at this URL.

The other item (not having to scroll down to comments) has come up before. It's on the list, and shouldn't be all that hard to do.

I figured that out eventually. Actually, in my example above, http://lwn.net/Articles/35049/#comment.1.1.1 hits itself! Go figure. I just liked the dot notation because it shows where things are in relation to other comments, but <div id="#comment.35049"> would certainly work just as well.

Anyway, it'll be nice to have that facility working. Maybe when you get a slow news week soon...

...or when you open the source and one of us has a slow day. That's how this Open Source stuff is supposed to work, right? :-)

(Well, no, it hits its parent, i.e. your comment. Still...)
