Comment(by greenshady):

 As a theme author, the last thing I want to do is tell 1,000s of users,
 "Hey, look at this cool comment form function WP introduced.  Yep, that's
 why your comments section is broken after upgrading."

 If we're going to introduce markup, theme authors need to be able to
 override it.  I'm specifically talking about the comment form title and
 the cancel comment reply link.  Personally, I'd rather just have a
 callback function for creating my own comment form since I'm already
 filtering everything anyway.

 And, what's with all the divs?  Do we really need a `<div>` wrapping every
 single element of the form?  I also agree with Otto about using `<p>`
 instead.

 Patch coming that's a bit leaner.  At the very least, take some ideas from
 it and make sure that we're not forcing theme authors into using specific
 markup.
