In a sense, it is - in that the po file has comments in it before you
convert to that format. For what it's worth, we're taking the comments
from .po files and storing them as bits of <context> information,
attached to each trans-unit.

Of course, I've also seen a few po files that are close to achieving
self-awareness : I could swear I've seen a few of them making their
own comments from time to time, but maybe I just drank too much 
coffee that day ;-)

I get your point about Extracted Comments later on though : that
sounds more like what we're doing.
