I'd suggest making at least one of the ideas a default, so the author 
doesn't have to remember to add in extra code. (More accurately, so the 
shepherds don't have to keep adding the extra code.) Would Neil's idea 
of putting the commentbox in the footer accomplish that? [1]

Seeing as it's a magazine rather than a free-for-all-wiki, I think the 
default should be protect the article from edits. Why go through all the 
work of having the shepherds and Pm approve it, only to let someone who 
doesn't quite understand the topic change it? In the same vein, comments 
should default to pmwiki.org's default: as open as possible without 
being spammed too badly.

[1] And if it would, it should show up only if the user is allowed to 
comment on the page. If comments are allowed only to logged-in users, 
include a "log in to comment" link.
