 I am unsure here, too. However, if we're allowing commenting on drafts, I
 suspect disallowing it on trash posts could be considered strange.
 >  * When commenting on trashed or draft posts, is the browser redirect
 and the permalink in the comment notification emails correct? How does the
 browser redirect for a trashed post work?
 Works the same way as normal for drafts. Trashed posts can't be 'seen'
 from the front-end (you get a 404) but I suspect it could be possible to
 comment on them if a user has the post open before it is trashed.
 Interestingly, if you try to submit a comment on a post that is moved into
 the trash as you're writing your comment, on comment submission, you get a
 wsod. This suggests to me that we shouldn't allow comments on trashed
 posts.
 >  * Do draft posts actually list comments on the front end (in the
 default themes at least)?
 Yes.

 Happy to adjust the patch to only allow for drafts, not trashed posts.
 Thoughts?
