I think the interesting question is, if this comment system was standalone, so it didn't have any network or real name effects behind it, would anyone use it?

I think the interesting question is, if this comment system was standalone, so it didn't have any network or real name effects behind it, would anyone use it? I'd prefer to use something attached to the back end and possibly use Facebook connect for the real name aspect, or even include the indication back into the feed on Facebook, although not everyone wants that.
