Add attribute 'comment' to all objects ?

[ssenesi]

For the sake of documenting xml files and their components, it would be helpful to be able to insert comment strings for every object, INSIDE the brackets enclosing the object. Maybe there is an XML syntax for that ? Otherwise, adding a 'comment' attribute would fit.

I'm not completely sure if it's what you want but XML syntax for comments is <!-- Write your comments here -->.

Thanks, I already learned that witgout having to read XML doc.
What I would like is :

to be alble to insert comment strings for every object, INSIDE the brackets enclosing the object

An example would help :
<axis id="p17" comment="This holds 17 pressure levels" ...>

This makes a semantic difference : the comment is attached to the object; this could help at a later stage

This makes a practical difference : the syntax is lighter

Done for the following objects: axis, calendar, domain, field, file, grid, scalar.
Will be added for other objects upon request.

Thanks. The list of objects looks fine
