 Thanks for taking the time to explain it to me, Otto. I appreciate it, and
 it makes more sense now.

 I guess I see this as something a theme author should usually be in
 control of instead of relying on a plugin to do the right thing, at least
 in the original context of sharing plugins and the like. To me it still
 makes more sense to keep these items a little more conceptually separate
 from the body of content itself, even just in terms of placement. It seems
 like we're talking about a funny middle ground between postmeta and
 comments and some are stuck on it being attached to the content (or
 `the_content`).

 I personally would still prefer something separate, even if it's something
 like a standardized `get_template_part('the_rest')`. And then having
 contextual hooks for `get_template_part()` would make it even better!
