See the archive for an earlier discussion about this.  During which Angus
created a new inset which we should see shortly.  Also note that from the
previous arguements (early October I think) we found we need three kinds
of comments:

1.  Post-it notes or editorial notes
        FIXME and so on.  This is the current Note inset
        Shouldn't appear in any printout.
        Jump to next/previous.

2.  Discussion/comments
        % Easily seen and navigated between.
        % stuff to be done etc.
        % It will never be a part of the printed document

3.  Commented out sections of the document
        \begin{comment}
        \section{Something I don't want in this version}
        Any paragraph style you want.  Still editable within LyX so the
        paragraph settings aren't lost.
        This may in fact be a paragraph option: that is, just set the
        paragraph to "hidden" and collapse the text inset that it is in.
        \end{comment}
