Sorry, I mis-read your mail :-(

I read:
  For some reason, I can fill a commented paragraph in emacs lisp mode,

...but somehow the next line slipped through.




Well, I believe the problem is, that we have no simple defined comment
start in Org-mode.

If `#' was the comment start, lines might be wrapped and stop
working. As `#' also starts working directives, e.g. for ditaa and
gnuplot.

In addition, a `#' may occur anywhere in a line but the first non-blank
position and would not start a comment.

Also, imagine a code block like this:

  #+begin_src perl
    print "This example";
    # ...contains a perl comment...
    # In deep nested node, this line might wrap, because of the fill column.
  #+end_src



Anyway, I believe it could be done - but no one got around and did it
yet. It seems complicated and error prone.



Best wishes
