When you use it for configuration, you can just use the comment type the parser of your choice uses. You rely on that parser anyway and will unlikely switch it. And that workaround to use a special key with the comment as value is ugly and doesn't give you the possibility to quickly or temporary disable stuff, nor does it give you the possibility to comment whole blocks. Nothing of the above is a solution for standards. They can not rely on the parser and using a special key as comment doesn't make sense. And I'm unable to see why they have a problem in defining a character and it's successors until newline as whitespace. Maybe they can't decide on the character. They even don't have to enforce it, all what is necessary is that they standardize one and the same character for the optional comment-functionality so that all comment-allowing parsers do use the same character. Something which should have been done right from the beginning. Anyway, I assume I'm now really offtopic. Sorry for that, but for me missing comment functionality is a show blocker for many things and it smells like going back to stone age. Regards, Alexander Holler
