+* Because IkiWiki generates static HTML, we can't have a form inlined in
+  page.tmpl where the user fills in an entire comment and can submit it in
+  a single button-press, without being vulnerable to cross-site request forgery.
+  So I'll put this in as wontfix. --[[smcv]]

 * It would be useful to have a pagespec that always matches all comments on
   pages matching a glob. Something like `comment(blog/*)`.
