Not sure that it would add to the functionality and if the comments
feature exists, it would probably be a little bit redundant in most
cases (yeah, I know they are not the same but that could turn the WWP
interface excessively featured and confusing.

WOW! That would definitely be a "no-no" in many people's books! I see
the utility of the thing but I sure wouldn't like *AT ALL* to have a
link to the CIA on my page! That would not be well seen by lots of
people outside the US. #removed#! That wouldn't be well seen by a lot of
people *inside the US*!
The WWP should be kept away from this kind of association...
