I see. But my point was that I don't think that it is specific to my use case. The reason being that the comment feature is a default feature found in many applications these days and that this indicates a quite general usefulness of it.
As I wrote before, the main feature that would make me like a new comment inset would be to be able to show the name and color of the user who entered it when some in change tracking mode. Having a comment feature that is linked to the change tracking machinery would be good. The issue of knowing how to typeset them, though, is not that easy.
I also want to point out that Comment notes (mentionned in the subject of the thread) have nothing to do with that. These are just notes that are visible in the document source, but not typeset. This is in contrast with plain notes, that are not exported at all. This question of having this potentially private information present or not in the .tex file is more important IMO than having it visible to the end user.
Finally, my remark about "MSWord in a box" was undeserved, and I apologize for that. I should have fought a bit more the urge of making fun of the idea. However, if allowing free spacing in comments is considered a worthy feature (after all everybody else does that), then why not allow it everywhere then? Everybody has its own habits, after all, and I am sure some people would enjoy this.
