There a some differences, as a COMMENT section will never execute any Babel code block inside it (it's like it did not exist at all), while :noexport: still will. Of course, we can wonder whether that particularity of COMMENT couldn't or shouldn't be transported to :noexport: as well (or something extra, such a :donothing:).
