Comment:

 The correct workflow may be to retrieve details about the post first,
 including `comment_status`, via `wp.getPost` and then make the call with a
 comment if comments are open. Anonymous comments are disabled by default
 in `wp.newComment`. I think having the XMLRPC call match the current
 behavior in `wp_new_comment()` is expected.
