I'm going to add two new, independent capabilities to the Comment classes. Both optional and settable by roller.properties (unless somebody has a better idea on how to toggle the features).

1) Allow comments only by logged in users (for non-logged-in users, comment form will be replaced by a suggestion to log in or register so that a comment can be submitted).

2) If user is logged in, the submitter's name and email address will be taken from their Roller account record. If user is logged in, then the comment form will not have fields for submitter name and email addr.

The reason that I'm posting to this thread is to get recommendations as to whether I should wait to fit this in with the suggested Authenticator/Validator strategy. If so, could somebody give me a realistic expectation of when I can expect that code to be usable in the trunk?
