It means introducing a special cases for comments (i.e.,
comments-in-attributes). I'm not a big fan of special cases.

However you can comment the attribute above the block, e.g.,

  # (this was the original width)
  # +ATTR_LaTeX: width 10cm
  #+NAME: fig-myimage
  #+CAPTION: Caption of Figure
  #+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 5cm
  #+RESULTS: myimage
  [[file:images/myimage.png]]

It is very easy to do with M-S-up/down, considering you probably don't
have a screenful of attributes for the same block.
