+/**
+ * @function can_comment_on_post($observer_xchan,$item);
+ *
+ * This function examines the comment_policy attached to an item and decides if the current observer has
+ * sufficient privileges to comment. This will normally be called on a remote site where perm_is_allowed()
+ * will not be suitable because the post owner does not have a local channel_id.
+ * Generally we should look at the item - in particular the author['book_flags'] and see if ABOOK_FLAG_SELF is set.
+ * If it is, you should be able to use perm_is_allowed( ... 'post_comments'), and if it isn't you need to call 
+ * can_comment_on_post()
