Blogger Commenting Enhancement

Blogger improved the commenting system, and added a feature that I think is pretty kewl. When commenting on a Blogger site (such as this one) users can select the the other button which will reveal a two text boxes, both optional, name and URL. This means that users don't have to be anonnymous, and bloggers, can identify their screen names with their URL.

Speaking of commenting issues, I got my first attempt at comment spam today. I hope it isn't a preview of things to come.

Curiously though, Blogger failed to rollout an implementation of the nofollow attribute which Google themselves proposed recently to help combat comment spam. Blogger is completely owned by Google.

Anyone care to hazard a couple of reasons as to why Blogger didn’t rollout nofollow?

As I understand it, there is nothing to impliment. All one has to do is to edit the comment section in the template. I believe they need to update the help section to reflect this.
Spam is not a big problem with Blogger. As far as I know the bots can't access it well, and its pretty easy to monitor and delete the offencive posts.
