These sound like excellent enhancements, as usual.

As one who makes calls to HandlePost to deal with comment boxes, I
think the local customisations will continue to work if HandlePost
and AuthFunction calls continue to behave the same way. The local
customisations add the following capability:
- post a date/time stamped comment at the place in the page where
  [[$Comment]] markup is written, newest at the top of the list
- [[$Commentchrono]] posts newest at the end of the comment list
- post to the top or bottom of the page if [[$Comment... is not
  present (eg it's in a template or a GroupHeader or Footer)
- [[$Wikilog]] posts a story (headline, text and author) to the
  beginning of today's page in the calendar, time-stamped
- [[$Wikilogchrono]] posts the story to the end of today's page
- optionally, a writer can post a comment or story to an edit-
  passworded page using only a read password (if one is set)

Perhaps some of these capabilities will make it into the enhancement?
