It seems to me that would be a lot easier than adding font-lock-comment-delimiter-face route? I am not entirely sure what you're proposing. Could you be more specific? I could try it out. The current behavior, highlighting comment delimiters but not the comment text, looks good to me. However, it's possible that some other solution would also look good. So just do M-x list-colors-display RET pick a color for comments and I'll do the needed change. Please don't install such a change, but I'd appreciate it if you sent me a patch to try.
