When adding comments usually there is a name field present in the form and output of comments. But in DS this field is not available for positioning so it is floating around in DS layout somewhere below DS code. Not sure if this is a bug or just a missing feature, but it is a problem as comments do have authors and you want to display this name somewhere, so why is it left out?

Title: Comment display/form name field missing » Comment form name field missing

Just to clear, it is missing on comment FORM UI. Display form doesn't have problems.
Also a note, if you are anonnymous user commenting it is a whole collection of fields. Name, email, homepage that you can't use. Is this out of DS scope and problem of drupal architecture?

Sadly enough I can't expose those since they are embedded in the form array underneath the 'author' key. The only key you can drag around is the author, subject and any field api field.

The same goes for the button "submit"

It would be useful that creators of drupal core built webpages. It often feels like it is just a system made by someone who never had real life scenarios to solve so you often find some little crucial feat missing and unable to fix them without make some big changes to system.

So now we have this cool DS system but you have author part hanging around like some tumor. I did use some template functions to put it somewhere, but with limited options.
