The comment can be an ordinary one at the subtag level.  For example,

That makes it a matter for ietf-languages.

For XML Schema's too taxing:            cowan@ccil.org
    I'd use DTDs                        http://www.ccil.org/~cowan
    If they had local trees --
I think I best switch to RELAX NG.
