It's a different UI from the floating comment bar on the WHATWG copy. According to Tab, the W3C spec's form is producing a disproportionate amount of the spam bugs. Ian mentioned on IRC that the WHATWG comment form has more automated anti-spam measures, so that's one additional possibility. I also think moderating the comments before they turn into bugs is reasonable if automated measures prove to be insufficient. Regards, Maciej
