  I agree that the proposed functionality to allow comments is useful.
  
  As to the aspect of separation of objects -
  well, I think with the invention of the password stuff and with the
  idea of grabbing the whois template output and writing scripts and the
  like, we should be asking whether just a blank line is the best way to
  separate objects... 
  How about an "end: whatever string you like to put here" attribute to
  be equivalent to a blank line separating objects?
  
  Any hard feelings?
