Gut feeling followup

Joe posted a comment about my entry on the new nofollow attribute. He has a good idea to fix the problem I had, it would allow blog owners to selectively promote links in comments, so valid links would get their due "Google juice." I think this is a good idea, but I dont think many blog owners would be diligent in promoting peoples links, especially people who get a lot of comments.

What I would like is some sort of keyword list that I could maintain and links that contain these keywords would have the rel="nofollow" attribute. Then meaningful links to real blogs would still their credit. I would also want to be able to retroactively apply the keyword filtering, so if I get a bunch of comment spam one day, and I dont happen to have any keywords for the new spam, I would want to add the keywords, and then have the blogging application check my comments against my updated keywords list.
