[PRISM] More comment dispositions

Another comment from Dan was:

For pragmatic reasons, specifically the concern over the
'download everything and dig through it' semantics of '#',
we will stick with the use of the '/' character.



Oh, this one was from Aaron:

Maybe later, but that is not required for the spec to work.
Concerns like that dominate my thinking since I have a lo
to do between now and April 9, when the 1.0 spec is released.
