But how does one specify whether the post is a standalone post or a comment?

Comments

By not including a parent permlink, it will be a main post, conversely, by including a parent permlink, it will be a comment under a post (the post or the comment above it identified by the parent permlink). Late answer here, but somebody may find this handy someday.

Thanks, I did figure it out eventually, but as you say, others will surely find it helpful!
