Comments in RDL

Hi
Is there a way to insert comments into the RDL, in such a way as that they
are persistent (i.e. they don't get lost when making changes to the report
and saving)?
Thanks,
MarkYou might want to check-out the <Custom> element. The contents of this
element is never interpreted by Reporting Services, but exposed to custom
rendering extensions, if you ever want to write your own extension and have
some semantics associated with your comments in the Custom element. When
using the Custom element you should place the custom properties under a
single subelement of Custom, defining a namespace for that node.

The drawback of the Custom element is that it is not exposed through report
designer, so would need to add the comments directly into the RDL (XML)
file.
