It seems the names are case sensitive. While HN itself is case insensitive. Also: Is there any documentation about what different badges mean?
Edit: As it turns out you need to hover over the text to get an description, while the icon only shows "icon for x" on mouseover.
Addendum: Would it be possible to split karma into submit and comment karma? My gut says it'd not be possible as HN uses some kinda curve + only displays the combined karma on the profile
Comment karma is not visible (it used to be and it was terrible...). But submitted story karma is public so it's possible to sum it up and negate it from a user's public total karma.
But you don't get 1 account karma per 1 story karma. Hence it being infeasable.
