Are the comment anonymous but publicly visible, or anonymous and  
confidential? I would prefer the former. I would also prefer  
commenters are given the option to identify themselves if they choose  
- for example if they would like an eventual reply, but don't feel  
comfortable giving their initial feedback by email or through bugzilla.
