Apologies, I see what you're trying to do in patch 3 and also note that you
specifically called this out in the commit message /o\ You can ignore this
comment as well as its sibling below.

I'd still like to change the HTML comment to a Django template comment, but we
can do that at merge time to avoid another respin. Other than that, LGTM:

I'll give Daniel a chance to come back around to this and merge it since he'd
reviewed it previously.
