Comment (by obenland):

 Hi sscovil, the paragraphs are still inside the form, I'm not sure I
 follow? In instances where these help texts would be used, there will be
 no corresponding form element to bind it to. What are `'author'` and
 `'name'`?

 I want to add that many themes will style labels inside the comment form
 with a selector like `#commentform label`, adding labels in places where
 previously weren't any will break backwards compatibility.
