+## Won't fix
+
+* 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.
+ So I'll put this in as wontfix. --[[smcv]]

Rather than just a horizontal rule, I'm thinking put the comments
in a box like is used for inlined pages.
