Yes.

Yes, that is the system I would like. Whether the comments are hidden
during voting or visible I have no strong feelings - but I would like a
comment to be required to vote. As you say it is useful history.

People may enter nonsense into the comment field. They may paste in their
message(s) from internals. I'm OK with any of that as it's an experiment.
If it's not useful, we can stop asking for a comment.

Given the concerns raised around voting, it would be interesting to see the
effect this has.
