I guess that depends. Is a comment just a note about something found there or is it more? I guess for simple
stuff, there could be an attribute on the element (Shot, Station, Cave, Survey, WhatEver, etc) for a comment
<!ATTLIST Cave
....
comment CDATA #IMPLIED>
Whereas other stuff - like original survey data in raw format - could be included as a separate element with
#PCDATA as it's child:
<!ELEMENT Text (#PCDATA)>
Whatever is chosen, the format needs the functionality so the user can choose their own style.
