Umm, yes, that's exactly what I meant with "longer translator comments
should continue to be given as comments".

Perhaps you missed the context when quoting the above. Some were
questioning that the disambiguating extensions weren't verbose enough
and not giving the translators the whole picture anyway. I was just
trying to point out that the disambiguating extensions should be as
short and precise as possible and that longer explanations of the
context can continue to be given as comments.
