Comment (by nacin):

 Seems like the big one here is "name", right?

 Not sure comment_status or ping_status is all that useful — they only
 store two values, and are also often overridden by filters (including in
 core).

 mime_type is interesting. post_type is a bit weird from the semantic
 perspective that different types aren't exactly meant to be combined into
 one feed, and sorting them via the raw name is weird. Same goes for
 status.

 date_gmt and modified_gmt seem unnecessary, given date and modified.
