 REMOTE_ADDR should be set correctly, and if not, should be set in the
 bootstrap for the API.. same goes for the user agent..

 That's a valid use-case for this, but I struggle to see how that's related
 to the rest api then, as the rest api comment endpoints shouldn't really
 allow that stuff to get set by default (IMHO)
