[documentation] Quick question...

[pyutaros at idkd.net]

On some of the document pages it can be a little unclear what to do with
the comments.  here are two specific examples:

http://drupal.org/node/81242
HOWTO: Display your node's "last edited by" information.
The author submitted PHP code exemplifying one way to accomplish this. 
The comments submit code listing other ways of doing the same thing or for
doing slightly different things.

http://drupal.org/node/58959
Child -> Parent(s) Relationships
This was a proposed project for the summer of code 2006.  There is a short
discussion that sparks up, but is never really resolved.

What should be done with comments in these situations?  It seems like you
would want to preserve discussions or alternate ways of code.  There are
also pages where user's report errors with code listed in snippets.  Do we
have a standard way of addressing these kinds of things?
Thanks,
Jonathan
