rakismet sends comment_type parameter value of "comment_type" instead of "comment"

Most other clients send "comment" in the "comment_type" field for comments; rakismet sends "comment_type" instead. This isn't technically an error, but for consistency it would be nice to fix.

From http://akismet.com/development/api/:
comment_type
May be blank, comment, trackback, pingback, or a made up value like "registration".

Rakismet shouldn't even be passing that param unless it's explicitly set by the developer. Are you seeing this consistently? Is it tied to a specific version number? The Rakismet version should be available in the User-Agent header, if you've got access to that data.

Both "Rails/2.3.4 | Rakismet/0.2.2" and "Rails/2.3.5 | Rakismet/0.2.2" show up as UA strings. On closer inspection though, it appears limited to a particular client, so an implementation issue does seem likely. Thanks.
