"match" is a regular expression match, while "name" is an exact match.

Custom markup.

This is why I'm thinking that a comments module should handle page name
mangling more directly.  But additionally, a comments module should
provide a mechanism that allows people to add a comment to a page
without requiring edit permissions (i.e., there should be another
permissions level for comments).  But mapping out the relationships
between read->comments->edit permissions is just a bit tricky.
