 In '''wp_new_comment''' we normalise some data like user_ID/user_id so
 that we support people providing both versions but we fire the filter to
 preprocess the comment first.

 This means if someone writes a filter they have to re-implement this
 normalisation if they want to filter the comment data properly.

 An example of where this currently goes wrong is when Akismet tries to
 fetch the roles of the user submitting the comment -
 http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/akismet/tags/2.5.7/akismet.php#L332

 This only works if the comment comes via a route that supplies the data
 correctly and not one that doesn't.
