+* Because IkiWiki generates static HTML, we can't have a form inlined in
+ page.tmpl where the user fills in an entire comment and can submit it in
+ a single button-press, without being vulnerable to cross-site request forgery.

+* It would be useful to have a pagespec that always matches all comments on
+ pages matching a glob. Something like `comment(blog/*)`.
+ Perhaps postcomment could also be folded into this? Then the pagespec
+ would match both existing comments, as well as new comments that are
+ being posted.

* The default template should have a (?) icon next to unauthenticated users (with the IP address
as title) and an OpenID icon next to OpenIDs

* Now that inline has some comments-specific functionality anyway, it would
be good to output `<link rel="comments">` in Atom and the equivalent in RSS.
