Twenty Thirteen: Highlight post author comments

[johnbillion]

Previous bundled themes highlight comments by the current post author. Twenty Thirteen should do the same.

Note that highlighting of post author comments is currently broken in trunk due to r23353. See #22324.

Do you mean "Highlight post author comments *better*"? They are already styled with a star in front of the username: ​http://cl.ly/image/1B0h3L161b1k

Okay yeah I do mean that. I hadn't even spotted the star. I personally like the "Post author" message that Twenty Twelve adds.

Possible author text label

Added a patch with added text label; patch includes styles from @joen.

Would it make sense to use get_post() instead of the global (for consistency with [21735])?

I am not a huge fan of 23522.patch​ because it makes it more difficult to adopt the standard wp_list_comments() comment callback.

Yes, get_post() makes more sense, but since $comment is actually passed to the callback, I'd avoid using any global state if possible.

I agree with Nacin -- we should favor core HTML5 output over custom theme-specific output.

If we can get #20088 into 3.6 we can close this ticket "wontfix".

I looped back with Joen, and he was clear that just the star was the intention of the design to indicate the post author.
