The newest UML 2.0 specs I can see appears to be
http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/apps/doc?formal/05-07-04.pdf which defines
comments as being in separate Note objects.  The oldest specs available
there (1.3, at http://www.omg.org/cgi-bin/apps/doc?formal/00-03-01.pdf)
don't define anything like that either.  I've also never seen anything
like it in any of the UML examples I've seen.  Maybe I should get the
book.
