Sure. I especially like the provision that it include backwards compatibility for browsers that can't support JS or Ajax.

And don't forget, it's not just journals or communities that require ReCAPTCHA for anonymous commenters. ANYONE can be subject to ReCAPTCHA if the journals or communities in question require it for non-friends/non-members, or even for everyone. And it's always imposed on all entries that contain more than 5000 comments, regardless of settings or whether you comment as logged-in.

And LOL at your third problem/issue listed. XD So true!
