Well since there hasn't been any discussion on this since I raised my 
admittedly late objection, I thought I would bring it up again.

This change severely limits the usefulness of the commenting system in Habari, 
since it is currently non-trivial to make changes to the comment form if it is 
built with FormUI with the system. For instance, I have a number of instances 
where I am using a comment form without URL, Name and website, since only 
logged in users can comment. I can hide these controls, but I shouldn't have to.

I don't need them, they should not be forced upon me. Additionally I have a 
comment form that allows for attaching files for uploading. Again this is 
non-trivial if I am forced to go through FormUI.

I am not against this being the case down the road when the FormUI system is 
more user friendly. Currently this just isn't the case. I would like to propose 
that this change is reverted, and a ticket created to re-implement it when 
FormUI has matured enough to make adding or removing items from the comment 
form trivial.
