I would question how much of the wiki toolbar is really required in a
comment field. We should encourage succinct comments; too many formatting
options distract from that in my experience. This is different from other
wiki formatting fields where a clear visual hierarchy of information in a
single textarea is necessary.

The project Anoop will be working on[1] should make the comment preview
superfluous.
