 * Hello,
 * Thank you for the plugin, it works well to display comments.
 * I am using it on a site with the Twenty Sixteen theme. If I try to validate for
   HTML 5, each comment produces a warning similar to the following:
 *     ```
       Warning: Article lacks heading. Consider using h2-h6 elements to add identifying headings to all articles.
       From line 471, column 4; to line 471, column 52
       <article id="div-comment-2" class="comment-body">
       ```
   
 * Since comments do not usually have a title, how can these warnings be prevented?
