Well...
I started to write a comment plugin myself as outlined above. I have managed to get the entire shell done. There is still a long way to go, but so far, so good with this being my first plugin :-)
Although I could live with non-registered user comments being non-editable, I see no reason NOT to allow "guests" to use their email as a login to edit a comment. After all, it is simply a comment, and as I originally stated, old comments will be rolled as new ones are added.
I really think, if a guest knows who the commenter is, AND happens to know their email, they are probably NOT going to "create massive problems". First of all, the "hacker" or "disgruntled" friend would have to know that the original commenter left a comment, for what link, and then all they could do is edit or delete the comment. I think the odds of this abuse are relatively slim. I guess I will find out. I really appreciate your comments and suggestions though. If it turns out to be a problem, I will add an option that will dis-allow guests to edit/delete.
I am not quite sure what you are saying... If you have example code I could hack from, that would be great! Otherwise I think I will just struggle along here and continue with my own plugin. Mostly because I will of course want to release it to the community when completed.
Thank you,

*ONLY* logged in/registered users can edit a comment. If a comment was not left by a registered user, it can't be edited. Your suggestion by using email, is not a good one. Anyone who knows who the commenter was, could create massive problems for them.
