I think I've found the magical ingredient for generating tons of comments on LJ, at least among my friend- circle, and it is very simple-
Talk about head-covering and/or ritual-wear and gender.
I guess people with those interests tend to congregate.
I think other halakhic concerns might get close- so, here's one I need to do some research into- what has the status of a shoe, and the acceptability going barefoot during (davening on) Yom Kippur.

Regarding the shoe thing, there's a great summary in one of those halakha summary books in Hebrew; I forget the reference, but someone (else) who's taken Nati Helfgot's Orah Hayyim shiur at YCT might know it. (Maybe it's the Piskei Teshuvot?) I remember that there were three different purposes, but the only one I remember is that you should be able to feel the ground through the shoes. Barefoot ought to be permissible, since it's pretty much what the Mishna/Tosefta were imagining, since the latter talks about the case of cloth slippers as a middle case.
