Scoring tends to only be a feature of big discussion sites, of which only Slashdot and reddit are worth learning from. OpenID is increasingly used for commenter identification. LiveJournal allows (paid) users to edit their posts until someone replies to it. http://microformats.org/wiki/comment-problem has a few thoughts about tracking comments.

As for editing comments, this is always a fickle point. Maybe authors should be able to for some short while, but as soon as the next comment is posted reediting earlier comments can become annoying (as people further down the line might have reacted to your comment already). I think a functionality like this is better suited for forums. Other comments by this author sounds interesting although I doubt whether it holds a lot of value. The permalink I included just last week. Never used it myself, my blog is not big enough for them to have a real use anyway. But the more comments you get, the more important the permalink becomes I suppose.
