> My blog (kickscondor.com) syndicates all the comments to every post

What does this mean?

When someone wants to comment, they post - not on my blog - but on their blog. If their blog supports Webmentions, my blog will get notified and I will 'syndicate' their comment - a copy will get placed on my blog. This way everyone in the conversation had copies of the entire conversation in case one blog goes down. (Does that clear it up at all?)

It does, and that is _one_ way in which to export a single node--assuming we're all using this Indieweb blog software. But I have heavy doubts that such software will become the norm, or that it will be the expectation of whatever data schema this bill ends up supporting.

I appreciate the theory of your approach and how it can be used, and while it does directly respond to the immediate statement I made, I don't think it realistically captures how my statement applies to the broader context, when and if this law becomes implemented.
