It should be possible to add a link to the static page that says
"leave comment" or whatever, have that go to a form where the user can
enter a comment. Then a script takes the comment and ends up appending
it to the static page in some way. I don't know of any scripts that do
this, but it seems like it should be possible. Theoretically you could
even have the script itself run on a different server and use ftp to
automatically upload the updated static file.
