None that I can immediately think of. The signal to noise ratio for AT users (screen reader users in particular) improves noticeably with the last example though. In the first example a screen reader would announce the comments something like: "Article. LOL. Article end." "Article. You suck. Article end." Instead of the less verbose announcements resulting from your second example: "LOL." "You suck."
