Possible use cases:
* Matching comments between PHP and Parsoid HTML [implemented here]
* Finding the same comment in a different revision of a page
(e.g. while resolving an edit conflict, or to allow resuming
composition of autosaved comments) [implemented for highlighting
user's own posted comment only]
* Permanent links to comments [future]
The reasoning for this form of ID is:
* _Timestamp_ by itself is a nearly unique identifier, so it's a good
thing to start with
* Users may post multiple comments in one edit (or in many edits in
one minute), so we need the _sequential number_ to distinguish them
* _Username_ is probably not required, but it may reduce the need
for sequential numbers, and will help with human-readability if we
add permanent links
The ID remains stable when a new comment is added anywhere by anyone
(excepts comments within the same minute by the same user), or when a
section is renamed.
It's not always stable when a comment is moved or when an entire
section is moved or deleted (archived), but you can't have everything.

(And rebuild them using this method, the properties are in different
order, it's actually nice for readability to have 'replies' last)

Tests that handle a specific case and describe what they are testing
would be nice… but tests that just document the current status to
avoid regressions are also okay and easier to add.
