I've joined this list to put forward the argument that there should be

We already have a comment tag. It's listed in the article-element
section of the spec. Article within article is suggested to be a
comment:

Yes, but this is not semantic!!! Comments are not articles. They are
completely different. Comments can appear in reference to things that
are not articles (such as status updates), and therefore would not
appear inside an <article> tag - so how would the browser recognise them
as comments?
When article elements are nested, the inner article elements represent
articles that are in principle related to the contents of the outer article.
For instance, a blog entry on a site that accepts user-submitted
comments could represent the comments as article elements nested
within the article element for the blog entry.
<ad> is no good idea exactly how Rand McRanderson explained it. You
can read it on the wiki as well:
