comments

In a traditional Wiki, comments are to be added to the end of a page. But in the CompStrm-1 Wiki we are separating content from structure. So we should be able to attach comments to a page. Note however that comments are distinct from sub-pages.

Now lets say that a Wiki Page is one use of a DataSet. A comment would be another use. But the rules are different for how these DataSet object can interact with each other.

First, a comment can not be a sub-page in another page. Nor can a page be a comment on another page. However, a comment can be on another comment.

A comment can not be referenced by any page except within the page it is on, nor is it visible except in the list of comments. But a comment can reference another comment on the same page or comment.

The content of the comments then are quite distinct from the content of the page they are on. Further, comments do not clutter the list of visible topics.
