I would hope it's the latter, unless you intend to penalise the owner of the 
weblog the same way that the spammers are penalised.

I'm starting to wonder why this couldn't have been achieved without markup at 
all.  The web server _knows_ that it's Googlebot requesting the page.  
Couldn't the web application simply omit the entire comment section?  Or add 
any magic attributes only for bots?  Or if more than one bot had to be 
supported, could they not introduce a new HTTP header?
