[wp-xmlrpc] GSOC Proposal - Extending WordPress Remote API

[prasath nadarajah]

Hi joseph,
what i thought was most of the blog dont use commenta meta value.
post meta values are extensively used, but not comment metas.
If you use the default comment form the comment meta tables will
be empty. my comment meta table is empty i guess this is the case with
most of the blogs including wordpress.com blogs.

Also comments are greater in numbers than posts. typically a famous blog
will have 40-60 comments. so everytime you query for a comment it
will query comments table as well as the comment meta table.
this may possibly double the response time in mobile apps.
seperately querying for meta values when needed is more efficient.

what do you think?
correct me if i,m wrong
