Hi, the request to modify the comments looks o.k. to me; not particularly 
longer than the
current entry
(thanks for sending the non-escape format too: 
http://www.alvestrand.no/pipermail/ietf-languages/2007-May/006597.html).

Why you removed "Latin" from the comments, I do not know but Latin remains 
in the description.

I've attempted to slightly rewrite your comments (see bottom of email).

Here's the comments entry currently on file, for the record:

"Comments: Latin orthography used in the Soviet Union in the 1930s
  for writing Turkic languages. Also called New Turkic Alphabet;
  Birlәşdirilmiş Jeni; Türk
  Әlifbasь; or Jaŋalif."

Sincerely,

C. E. Whitehead

Here's a possible rewrite:
"Comments:
        [Latin?] orthography used in Turkic republics/regions
        of the former USSR in the late 1920s, and throughout the 1930s, 
which attempted to
        represent equivalent phonemes in a unified fashion. Also known as: 
New
       Turkic Alphabet; Birlәşdirilmiş Jeni Tyrk
        Әlifbasь; Jaŋalif."
