Comment:

 Please reconsider implementing this. I've hacked my own WordPress blog to
 fix it, but the problem keeps hitting me when I subscribe to the comments
 feeds of other people's blogs, and they don't even realize there's a
 problem. If you have a 'hot' post where there are a lot of comments, you
 miss a bunch of them in the feed, because most people have their setting
 at the default 10.

 This is not plugin material. The basic functionality of WordPress in this
 area is broken. It's a very frequent occurrence that a new post gets 20-30
 comments in a day or two, but it's a much less frequent occurrence that
 there are 20-30 posts in a day or two, so the two feeds should have
 differenent settings.

 If you don't want to have a new option in the user interface, then just
 change the default for the comments feed to something higher, like 50 or
 100.
