Comment (by sscovil):

 The old comment form output some help text inside `<p>` tags, as seen
 here: http://pastebin.com/SgMaD22e

 According to @joedolson: "Having paragraphs inside a form can require a
 screen reader user to move back and forth between modes to read all text."

 The latest patch resolves this issue by wrapping form help text in label
 tags, as seen here: http://pastebin.com/yzpBBTD4
