Comment:

 Great stuff - this is one of my pet peeves.[[BR]]
 However, I have a few comments to make about the current code in the
 trunk.

 First, we need MORE HOOKS!!! What if I want to add to the form, rather
 than replace it entirely? (I do...)

 Second, it would be nice if the add-comment function could accept POST
 values for all the comment metadata. (For example, I want to write a
 plugin which will allow the admin 'replying' to make the reply be 'from'
 another user or a visitor whose name, email, url and IP can be set. It
 would be best if I could still submit the form to the core function rather
 than replicating it.

 Third, I think the form should be inserted in another tr below the comment
 being replied to. Of course, it's quite simple to write a plugin which
 does this (I have done so, in fact, and I don't mind uploading some of the
 code here if anyone's interested in changing the core behaviour).
