I should be able to embed Conversations in a page
Summary: For complex list-focused UIs, it would be helpful if the Conversations could be in-place.
From Eric:
The current Comment structure assumes that users will be looking at Things one-at-a-time. This is true for some problem domains, but not all.
In this case, when displaying (say) all Feedback for a given Spirit, it'd be really nice if each Feedback item both displayed its comments and permitted further commenting directly beneath it - including the conversation inline, rather than forcing a user to click through to that specific Thing to read/make comments (which I predict would kill most conversation over Feedback items).
(On a practical level, showing all comments and a text entry box after each Feedback in the list would be extremely space-eating; I expect the UI would want to show only the most recent few comments, and two hyperlinks: "N more..." to display N more comments, and "Comment" which opens up the comment entry UI beneath the Feedback Thing [as would Reply].)
