If there were a blank line above the comment, the newline removal
would be appropriate, but not when there is no blank line above it.
=== input
*** test
no comments
one
comments
# test
two
=== ascii
no comments
one
comments
two
===
Thanks.

Blank lines below an element belong to that element, by definition. So,
obviously, just add a blank line between "comments" and "# test" and it
will not be removed.

You are saying that the comments get removed with the blank line
because the blank line is considered part of the comments?
If so, I think the expectation of many users is that # comments only
the line itself, and not any other lines. That, at least, is my own
expectation.
In my case, the proposed solution changes the meaning of the comment.
For example:
===
a
b
c
d
# e
# f
new paragraph
===
If you make e and f a new paragraph, it is intended to be a new
paragraph and no longer refers to the previous paragraph.
I don't know the code, but is it possible that, instead of attaching
blank lines to elements, blank lines can be an element on their own?
Would that allow the needed flexibility and also add orthogonality for
other purposes?

Is silence following music still music? ;)
Blank lines belong to the "comments" element, but are not commented
themselves.

It's not a matter of "where to store it", but "what to do with it".

I don't think we need it. I have pushed a patch for that. Note that now,
blank lines before the comment and after it will accumulate.
