  * milestone:  3.0 => Future Release


Comment:

 I agree.

 However, it's not a trivial task. Moving to Future Release until a patch
 is submitted.


 Since we don't have a special template for editing... anything, here's how
 I think it could be done:

 Have a special query_var that would populate the comment area with the
 desired comment to edit.

 Example:

 1. You have a post http://example.com/2010/01/my-post

 2. A user posts a comment that gets the id 123.

 3. He finds a typo and clicks on the "edit comment" link

 4. He is sent to http://example.com/2010/01/my-post?edit_comment=123

 5. On this page, the form is prefilled with the comment content.

 6. The user edits the comment and clicks submit, as usual.
