That sounds to me as if Peter supports both keeping the Preferred-Value 
of CS *and* adding a comment, as yet unspecified.  (There is already a 
comment attached to CS, so I don't know what more is needed.  Are we now 
proposing to add a comment to subtag B to say that subtag A has a 
Preferred-Value of B?)
