I'm positive that this is probably the easiest request to implement, but maybe it would be a feature welcomed by the masses to be implemented in the base code.
What if user comments were to be enclosed in HTML comments that distinguish between the body of a user's comments and the user's signature.

EXAMPLE:
<!--UC-->This is my user signature! -Andy<!--/UC-->
This could be an option that users can toggle within their preferences so that people can tell what is a comment and what is a signature.
Another option would be to enclose the comment in a <span title="name"></span> tag.
EXAMPLE:
<span title="User Comment">This is my user signature! -Andy</span>
The second option would allow people to hover over the text and disclose the signature as such in a tooltip comment. A third option could use a CSS rollover to change the background of the text of the signature when the mouse rolls over it.
This feature could be handy in allowing a user to distinguish between the comment and the signature. Sometimes a signature might contain information which might fit in with the comment. Implementing this would clear any confusion.
