Here's a possible idea. Put the comments in the payload of an 802.2 SNAP
packet, with the OUI field set to a 3 octet value that has the locally assigned
bit switched on e.g. 02:00:00. Other protocol analysers should gracefully
handle that, as when OUIs are locally assigned, they're obviously not meant to
be assumed globally unique, and therefore not guaranteed to represent any
particular protocol. As a bonus, the next two octets of the SNAP header,
reserved for a protocol ID, could be used for something e.g. represent
different types of comments, or something else.
