Jordan,
I use Web Organizer, too, and find it to be a valuable tool. It is too bad
that development ceased when it did.

WRT your question, comments aren't a part of the bookmark file specification,
as far as I can tell, and WebOrg seems to adhere faithfully to that
specification. It is even more picky than just eliminating comments. The
Netscape specification for the bookmark file includes a blank line between each
entry. The Mozilla bookmarks file eliminates the blank line. WebOrg seems to
consider this to be something other than bookmark HTML because it refuses to
display the single-spaced data. In the end, we have to remember that these are
generated files that specify a subset of available HTML. WebOrg is a utility
that adheres strictly to the limits placed on the file by the Netscape/Mozilla
specifications.
