Actually the problem lies in how text vars work.  I hadn't noticed
it--but others have already pointed it out to Pm, and he is
considering possible solutions.  As soon as I here something from Pm,
I'll fix this problem--have several options.

Yes, just use a "required" field, already built in to zap.

The comments are actually pagelists using a custom pagelisttemplate
using text vars.  So anything you can do in a pagelist you can do with
the comments.

To change the look of a forum page, you simply modify the groupfooter,
where the markup is put.  Again you can make it look however you want.
 It is extremely flexible.

Unfortunately, I don't really know anything about I18N, yet, but it
should be the same as anywhere else in PmWiki.  All ZAP really does is
manipulate and store data in a format that PmWiki can easily retrieve
anywhere and do whatever it wants with.

Deleted.  Thanks for stopping in.
