1. None taken. It's just a temporary solution until the cocomment team can implement it. I'm sure there's more pressing issues, they're swamped with feature requests and bugfixing (not to mention server load).
2. I disagree. I think it's wonderful that we can bypass the "conversation nazis" and make our voice heard without his/her approval. In fact, we could create a whole little subculture around Comments That Were Never Posted. In my opinion there is no libel issue.
3. I never thought of that. Big problem once the spammers figure it out. On the other hand, isn't the whole thing javascript-based? A bot would have to understand javascript then (most of them don't) and could still only "post" to its own Conversations page. To prevent the spam from appearing on your site, you could check "Show comments written by me only" (which arguably limits the usefulness of the box).
4. RSS is too darned complicated already. Let's find a way to syndicate NNTP instead. I mean it.

That's my current thought, too, Dennis - maybe not display the comments on the site but definitely keep track via the RSS feed.
To provide site visitors with the connection, maybe have a link to the conversation space on the coComment website. And a link to the feed.

Overall, though, it's a very neat concept.
