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. Ah... I see it now. I'm OK with removing that until we have an effective solution to the spam problem. > Regards, > Maciej - Sam Ruby
