Abyot,

Sure, I know that - I'm just interested in why the comment field wasn't
included per data value as it is for aggregated data. Was it a deliberate
choice? Or simply that nobody thought about it at the time? I'm thinking of
writing a JIRA issue for it, but would like to know if there are/were
specific considerations against a data value comment field (and if yes,
what they were).

Regards
calle
