articles; see

I see this idea is unpopular among the maling list, but I still want
to point out that the "download" part is not true. Comments can be
dynamically downloaded (e.g. AJAX) on a on-demand basis (only when you
click "Show comments" would comments be downloaded and shown to you).
Perhaps, but Wikipedia (and MediaWiki sites in general) are one of the
few remaining websites that benefits from being Web 1.0 rather than
Web 2.0, even if it has elements of the latter.
