How to display comments as specified in the node.tpl.php? "Display Comments" places the comments after the node.

I created a very simple blog feed in Views 3 -- an unformatted list that displays full node content of type article. In my node--article.tpl.php, I have custom markup that prints the comments at the end of the node. Heavily simplified, it's something like this:

<div class="blog-node">
<!-- ...bunch of node code... -->

<div class="special-comment-wrap">
<?php print render($content['comments']); ?>
</div>

</div>

If I don't select "Display Comments" in the Show:Content settings, no comments are shown, as expected:

<div class="blog-node">
<!-- ...bunch of node code... -->

<div class="special-comment-wrap">
<!-- Nothing here. Looking good. -->
</div>

</div>

But when I choose "Display Comments", views doesn't respect my node--article.tpl.php. It inserts the rendered comment array after the node, like this:

<div class="blog-node">
<!-- ...bunch of node code... -->

<div class="special-comment-wrap">
</div>

</div>

<!--what would be the results of <?php print render($content['comments']); ?> -->

Un-nesting my comments causes problems with my document outline, and display inconsistencies when compared to the normal full node view as rendered by node--article.tpl.php. In the html5 I'm working on

- View
  - Blog
    - Comments
  - Blog
    - Comments
  - Blog
    - Comments

Is very different than

- View
  - Blog
  - Comments
  - Blog
  - Comments
  - Blog
  - Comments

I can understand situations where it would be beneficial for views to act this way, but it's a problem for me. Any ideas on how to get views to respect my tpl?
