True. But we should try to avoid moving documents too much in the first 
place, once they're published in order to avoid broken URLs (at least 
the old ones should still work or redirect to the new URLs).
Also, using the URL as identifier is just the default for diqus.

Right, we could create a custom identifier based on values like chapter, 
version etc (see [1]) - but this might make things quite complicated.

Absolutely, Disqus was just one example as I don't know any other system 
with the featureset. There has been a thread in this list already re 
commenting systems [2]
