## Patches pending merge

+ should probably be shared
+

+## Won't fix
+
+* 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
