A comment package here is what GnuPG calls PKT_COMMENT, it has datavalue 61. 
And in most/all openpgp (and librepgp) specs this is in the private	/
experimental range, so they should not be rejected 'just because'.

This was btw introduces in GnuPG in 1998 and has been in use for things ever 
since.
