The same thing happens on the front page of the Oxford Guide with
"Cafes" - I spent quite a long time looking at this before and decided
it must be to do with buggy browsers, but typically I can't remember the
details now.

Just a data point for you, anyhow.

I noticed that the comment stuff is currently implemented as a CGI - it
really should be refactored into a method within OpenGuides.pm (or
OpenGuides::Comment for that matter) for integration with the main code,
then having it dispatched by wiki.cgi, but I assume that's fairly
trivial.
