Quick question. Where are you getting the variables from? With strict reporting PHP throws an absolute fit at all those uninitialised variables.

I figured it out.

    $html5         = TRUE; // False if xhtml
    $req           = get_option( 'require_name_email' );
    $html_req      = ( $req ? " required='required'" : '' );
    $commenter     = wp_get_current_commenter();
    $aria_req      = ( $req ? " aria-required='true'" : '' );

    if(!isset($commenter['comment_author'])){
        $commenter['comment_author']='';
    }
    if(!isset($commenter['comment_author_email'])){
        $commenter['comment_author_email']='';
    }
    if(!isset($commenter['comment_author_url'])){
        $commenter['comment_author_url']='';
    }

Yeah sorry, this wasn't very well documented, and is probably well out of date by now. Thanks for coming back and adding your findings.

No problem. It was exactly what I needed. (Once I figured out the missing bit).
