Comment(by filosofo):

 An admin has greater posting privileges than a non-logged-in user, so
 there would be some advantage just in preventing XSS-commenting for only
 logged-in users.

 And perhaps we could use the client's IP address in the nonce hash when
 generating it for non-logged-in users?
