I would rather keep the UI simple, I dont imagine that peoples comments are sent imediately, though I wouldnt stop them, but rather have the client code store up a batch of changes which are uploaded at once, along with any blog posts, gsm cell id to location mappings, osm map corrections etc. So I want a fire and forget API (well a msg accepted/failed response is ok).
In that case it's definitely best to go the "add a comment" route rather than having people edit the entire article, because it means we don't have to worry about merging (e.g. if you edit the article on your phone, then someone else edits it before you get home, and you get home and try to sync your updates). With "add a comment", we just append it.
