After rereading your post concerning consistency, here my 2c

not all nodes include a thread view of replies, hence a backlink should always be at the top near the title
this top line is imho cryptic, I remember that it took me a while to decipher it. It might be worth discussing rearranging them Like
```
on Feb 05, 2024 at 16:40 CET ( [id://11157535] = monkdiscuss ; display: print w/ , w/o replies, xml )
```
and adding some
alt="print view without replies"
descriptions on mouse over to all links.
I'm personally strictly against adding more features to display settings, they are not only hard to understand, but the code becomes littered with if conditions and increasingly unmaintainable. The few using these settings force the many to deal with static code. KISS!!!
Nevertheless, for "consistency" I submitted a patch to display the backlink once matter in the bar with "comment" and "msg" link, right above the replies. It's activated by the same option, and appears just behind the title,
Comment on ${title} [id://...] | Download Code ...
(NB: this is pseudo code the real "template" is far more complicated)
Alas the gods didn't like it ...
