This is strictly a "post 7.0" release request, of course:

Andy, in svn 16949, today checked in a change to Queries.pm that causes
big album and track comments to get their own pop-up page in the jive
ui.

I'd love to see something similar in the default web skin...perhaps
something like the pop-up "bigger album art" that happens when the
mouse is hovered over the player-panel artwork...perhaps a pop-up text
area containing comments content when the mouse is hovered over some
text indicator.

I generally stuff my track comments with some basic minimal composer
info, a URL to the composer's page at Grove Music and with as extensive
a performer's roster as I can stand to document.  So, even now, my
comments tags are a bit unwieldy in the web ui.  Being able to pop up
all that data with mouse hover would be down-right sexy.

Also, in the future, I'd like to see our allowable metadata tags in
flac files to expand beyond just "COMMENT" into areas like "LYRICS" or
"LINERNOTES".

I've already started tagging some of my new library additions with
vorbis comments labeled "LINERNOTES" containing the cd booklet text in
html format.  Sometimes, this content is quite extensive.  I've got
some LINERNOTES tags now that are weighing in at more than 75k. 
Obviously, a scrollable, sizable pop-up window is the right way to
display content like that.

Anyway, before I file an enhancement request, I thought I would solicit
some feed-back on this idea.  Anyone have an opinion?
