definitely detract from the usefulness. I had a similar problem with
Clipmarks, where the code wrapped around the clip screwed up my RSS
feed.

At the moment, content on the web goes everywhere, but it's nearly impossible to tie it back to the source and, if you're the author, monetize it anywhere other than your own site.
But if content becomes embedded instead of just copied...hmm...
But made at least one click more easy, it might becomes a part of lots of peoples' blogging work flow.
And StevenHodson's point below is pertinent, too .. I presume that CSS adaptations could / will follow ?
... cut-or-copy-and-paste is pretty hard to dislodge from work flows. This is effectively another form of that, and requires additional html, no ?

1. People's URL structures change
2. People's blogs disappear.
3. People forget to maintain their Javascript applications. Any of these three would cause a nice fat javascript error
4. It doesn't save much time.
5. It doesn't allow pulling the part of the post I want, though I'm sure we could rig that.
6. It does include things I may not want, like the comments, though I do think that's a neat idea.
7. It won't count as Google food.
8. It won't be searchable on my blog search.
9. It's yet another thing my page has to go get while it's loading, and while that's not so bad in the sidebars, it could be irritating waiting for a post to load before I can read it.
10. There is no 10, but I like lists of 10.
It did get me thinking though. What I think would be cool is if everyone's comments on a particular subject were melded together.
Take this subject as an example. Anil does the originating post over on his blog. A couple of people comment over there. Then Mathew does this post, and when he does, he clicks a box that says this is a response to a post and enters the trackback. Now this post shows up here, and as well as a comment on Anil's blog.
Now a couple people comment here, and these comments show up on Anil's post as well, and so on. And, all new comments from Anil's post show up here, too. So all the comments are all in one place.
This is one place where you might WANT to be using JS so that Google doesn't see duplicate content all over the place.
Just a thought...
is something I've wanted for a while. CoComment and Disqus and other
things are all attempts to do that, but they don't really work as well
as they might.
And I like number 10 the best :-)
