Comments in SOAP messages

Elliotte Rusty Harold raised some questions about comments in SOAP
messages. In particular he noticed that we appear not to allow them as
children of the document information item.  I was all set to send a
response that says;  oh yes, possible infelicity, but we allow them
everywhere else, and there are subtleties relating to handling at
intermediaries.  Well, I find language in 2.7.4 that says how they can be
added and removed at intermediaries, but I couldn't find anything that says
they are allowed in the infoset in the first place!  I feel like I'm
missing something obvious.  If not, significant bug, I think?  I know our
intention was to allow them, and to grant some lattitude to intermediaries
to add and remove them.  That was decided at the Bedford F2F, I think.  Am
I remembering correctly?  Is it in the spec?  Thanks.
