Out of the total comment Karma alloted to all comments for an item, what proportion of this amount is contained within each comment?
The issue here is that upon voting, you couldn't change all displayed comment percentages at once, it'd have to change on page reload.
Also, it could be a rounded 1-10 scale.

edit: would be good to reveal any comment score upon voting: gives an incentive to vote and remain critical. It's also like a marker as to what comments interest you for future recall -- that's something new.
- either cap underlying comment scores at 50 points
OR
- instead of giving a percentage score for a comment's proportion of total comment points, rank comments in terms of lowest positive score to highest positive score: then give each comment a score between 1-10 by segmenting the long tail into 10 even parts. (the initial ranking may not even need to be used)
