Max,

Right, thanks for the clarifications.

A hook at pre-export stage to filter out the
line-comments is one correct way to get an output
compliant with different backends. Yet the removal
of comments may provide an AST different from the
one of the emacs buffer.

That's an interesting idea.  This would add an
attribute to the previous element.

If we keep speculating on that, the rendering path
would change. It would have to consider this
property too when showing or hiding elements.

And it would require additional function to
reallocate this attribute like a node.

And this would probably break some conceptual
integrity.

The org spec is correct to handle the comments the
way it does. As I see it now, that's the only
possible attempts to reconcile the behaviors of
different backends.

Still, the writing experience is much improved
when comments are allowed inside paragraphs
without disrupting the publication, and this
definitely worth a few modifications.


Phil
