That is just what I was saying. Don't use anything like this. If you
want to add a note use the "fixme" or "note" key. Something like
    fixme=please add name
or
    note=missing name
would be better. But thats really only needed for more complex cases like:
    name=FoObaR
    fixme=Check spelling of name
