Comments are definitely coming (I need them also), but how they'll be 
organized is still an open question.  It could be that the comments
are added to the current page, to a separate "comments" page, or to a 
sequence of separate "comments" pages.  Suggestions?

I'm planning to do blog-style initially, if only because managing threads
is a real pain.  Then there's the question of showing most-recent-posts 
first or last.  :-)

Finally, does anyone know of a particular rendering style for comments
that seems especially good or useful?  Here I'm referring to the way
comments are displayed on an output page, and as with most things PmWiki,
I prefer simpler displays to complex ones.
