I'd probably put the comments and submission form in an iframe; possibly from a third-party.
An iframe is a possibility; the fixed box size is an user experience tradeoff. I really believe in the vision of a read-write web, i.e. for me the default should be all involved parties being able to comment on any given content.
Of course this should be possible to turn off for certain content and moderated, but it still seems artificial to not have the discussion on the same page, compared to the original post. HN is beautiful, for instance. :)
How would you allow a user, while creating a blog post, to add commenting to the post in a way that enables progressive enhancement i.e. doesn't require javascript, with static site generators?
If you can't, what is your justification for the sacrifice in accessibility?
If you can fulfill this basic requirement, please show me the experience of using the system and show me how it is better than wp as a whole.
