Sean, your method is pretty creative considering the fact that Radiant 
doesn't presently give you a way to add stuff the admin interface. I 
still favor making comments a separate model object though, and here's 
why: Pages have URLs layouts, etc... Comments do not have their own URL 
(nor do then need a layout). Comments are data that is associated with 
pages, therefore they should not be implemented as pages themselves.

Your method is interesting though, and would prove very useful in 
certain circumstances.
