I suppose. It makes more sense when you put it that way. From what I
understand, the type attribute is open-ended, nowhere in the spec does
it say what a valid type is, nor does it say what additional additional
attributes are aloud, or their valid values. So, while isComment is
explicitly defined in the spec, isComment==true would always indicate a
comment, where type==comment would depend on the client to interpret it
as such.
