This feature is now available. And with this plugin, you won't have to click on the bookmarklet, if the blog admin has enabled either the auto-enable or track all comments(enabled by default) option.

I tried it, and remembering to use the bookmarklet all the time was a complete pain in the ass. And this--offering a coComment option with your site's comments--seems like a bad idea. A ton of users have a hard enough time understanding what a Gravatar is, much less coCommenting. Also, let's face it, it's easy to track a user's blogosphere activities if you pay attention to their del.icio.us links and several other thingss; it's no truly hidden secret mostly. Now, posting on <i>other</i>, non-blog sites is a different matter.
