As it turns out, several modules I need are still only avail. in 5.x though most have 6.x work in progress to one degree or another.
Found a "hack" for edit time time limit. It involves patching the core comment module, but this is a must have for me so... made alot of notes and patched it.

I hope I eventually have the skills to code some modules. Not there yet though. The edit time limit one would be a good candidate for a first module since it's pretty simple, judging by how many lines of code were involved.

... plus, we're going to migrate a vBulletin forum in and to do that, we need to be in 5.x, really. So we start w/5.x. Probably will be ready to upgrade to 6 in a few months.

I believe the granularity is

I believe the granularity is a little better in Drupal 6. If I remember correctly, the first of your criteria is met by Drupal 6. However, unless there is a module to do it, there's no way to allow editing a comment for a limited time.

If you have any Drupal coding experience, perhaps you could create that module? I believe it would be used by a large number of people.

As for building a site in Drupal 5 vs. Drupal 6. You should always try to use six, unless there is a module you need that is only available for five. These are getting gradually less-and-less.

We are still stuck on five, although I haven't checked for a while whether we could, in theory, upgrade.

Hope this helps, and sorry for not replying sooner.
