I got it now. Specifically, the comments I have downvoted will have the “class” attribute set to “down mod” on the anchor text “Vote down” (which causes the anchor text to be bolded) whereas the comments I have not downvoted will have it set to “down”.
If you did that, though, you would no longer have a supply of downvotes to use; is that not so?
No. Not if you just count your votes on every comment ever. “just”
I can count how many downvotes I have used on top-level submissions by scraping http://lesswrong.com/user/rhollerith_dot_com/disliked/, but how would I count the downvotes I have used on comments?
(It seems that every time I reply to you it is to pick at something you wrote. I hope you do not think I’m hostile to you. I’m just curious.)
lesswrong.com/comments/; lesswrong.com/r/discussion/comments/
Every. comment. ever.
(I have not investigated what happens to deleted comment votes, a slight complication. )

Exactly!
Of course. Forgive my denseness.
