I wasn't saying it should -- just that it has it's own page, thus it  
has the ability for group &/or page permissions, like any other page.

I think that the idea was "how do you set permissions on in-page  
comments?"  or do you require the -Talk page if you want that control?

I agree with that.  The only thing in question is whether there were  
new mechanisms for a particular page being created that needed  
separate permissions.  I didn't think so -- either pagename-comments,  
or group-talk/pagename (alt: group/pagename-talk) works for me.
