Yes. Google docs does contain a lame version of the thing I’m pointing at. The right version is that the screen is split into N columns. Each column displays the children of the selection from the previous column (the selection could either be an entire post/comment or a span within the post/comment that the children are replies to.)
This is both a solution to inline comments and a tree-browser that lets you see just the ancestry of a comment at a glance with out having to manually collapse everything else.
Also: you replied to my comment and I didn’t see any notifications. I found your reply by scrolling around. That’s probably a bug.
Ah, notifications actually exist, but they are currently disabled by default. You can subscribe to any comments for which you want to get notifications for by clicking the subscribe button.
You can also activate automatically subscribing to your posts and comments on your profile.
Are you thinking of something similar to what Google docs has? That’s how I’ve been thinking about implementing the general inline-commenting thing.
