That's true, but the xml file in .comments is not deleted. I still have
a file with content:

------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<comment version="3.0">
  <caption/>
  <note/>
  <place/>
  <time value="2012:11:13 16:38:48"/>
  <categories/>
</comment>
------------------

is it ok? I'd expect that, if I delete all the comments and other
metadata which could be store in the file, this file is deleted too.
