 I think, unfortunately for us and the users, its actually a bit late to
 change to making comments/crap on Pages an option, because so many themes
 have left it out. If it were to be an option, and a theme had left out the
 function to call the comment form, well, when someone enables it and goes
 looking for their comments they'll be wondering what's going on.

 I don't think a plugin can possibly help here, unless its going to
 memorize the HTML structure of all the various themes and insert the
 comment stuff on the page where it would normally be, if that's even
 possible. Feasible? Doubt it.

 I still like the idea, but how to implement it without generating many
 many headaches, I don't know :).
