Delete comment diggs/buries

Diggs can be undugg, and Buries can be unburied for posts.

However the same can't be done for diggs/buries on comments. I miss this a lot, since the comment digg/bury buttons are small and I often end up digging a comment when I meant to bury it, or vice-versa.

Uh how about the user interface?

Most of the options seem to focus on behind the works, but how about a good looking user interface. Something web 2.0 style. I get so board with static looking sites.

Does Digg's recently launched new look and features change any of the above?
