I wouldn't trust a (relatively new, correct?) Q&A site with commenting on research-level work, at least not above the level of informal chat. While outsiders, id est people largely not acquainted with the subject at hand or lacking the expertise, can provide a fresh perspective, I would not expect the benefits from a discussion on such a high-level to outweigh the potential distractions and/or misguided approaches. Let alone other issues that arise with discussing unpublished work. On the other hand, a discussion in the spirit of "what are the concepts behind this proof?", or "what are the implications if this proof is correct/wrong?", or even "what is the approach of this proof? what are the pitfalls associated with such a process?" are excellent ways of disseminating knowledge and educating about the subject a) without having to resort to the few experts on the field and b) keeping the content in line with the principles of a Q&A site.
