Comments Disabled By Default

Everything works fine for the uid=1 user. It's just other users that have this problem. The object coming out of node_execute doesn't have a comment field set. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the form doesn't have any UI for whether or not comments are allowed?

Here's a patch that sets a default for $node->comment (based on code I saw in comment.module for setting the radio button initially) if $node->comment isn't already set when the node is passed in for saving.

$node->sticky and $node->promote being unset aren't as big of a deal because non-sticky, non-promoted seem like reasonable defaults. But I think they maybe also should get set to their default values explicitly for robustness sake.

forgot to set patch status

#4, Unless you think that this patch is causing the problem, my suggestion is that you file that as a separate issue so that the two issues can be tracked separately.

Would someone be willing to commit this?
