You are right.  The string DESCRIPTION is used as recommended for the 
comment.

But this remind me a same problem for ogg file (it is why the option 
"Ogg Vorbis File : Write also the comment to the XMMS format" exists).
And the comment in Ogg Vorbis file is written using COMMENT instead of 
DESCRIPTION... So I'm quite confused... and don't know which version is 
right
