Remember, folks, the main purpose of this thread is to talk about
duplicate attributes *in pcb*.  Nobody has suggested any changes to
gschem.

In pcb you'd need unique names, like comment1, comment2, etc.  This has
always been the case so nothing new.

The only time it would matter is when you're importing a schematic into
pcb, and you want all the attributes copied to the element - but that
never supported duplicates anyway.
