blogger.com: ability to comment on a draft is lost

What a pity, I loved it! Was useful when preparing a sharehound build: first I make a draft, then put a 'make comment' link to it to the application properties file, then test it, then publish zip on Sourceforge, then make a post public. Now the 'test' phase is not working here :(. A workaround is to publish the post prior to testing then make it a draft again. I wonder if that temporary publish is reflected in RSS feed to this blog? Chances are that it is..
