Excuse my ignorance, but I fail to see why it would be necessary to use a
different namespace for Sieve comments. Programs that interpret Sieve from
XML representation would just ignore such elements. Programs that generate
XML representation automatically (e.g. from some rule based UI) are unlikely
to generate them anyway.
Am I missing some use cases?
