Am I missing something? PO files do support comments, and PO editors,
like POEdit, support displaying comments. So (even though I have no idea
if the current x-comments have meaningful information or not, so I
surely won't complain if x-comments are dropped) supporting PO files
won't get in the way of supporting comments.
The documentation at
http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gettext/manual/html_node/PO-Files.html
shows support for both translator's comments and extracted
(programmer's) comments.
