I believe that cmeta:comment is deliberately designed to hold unstructured (i.e. human readable) information as opposed to computer readable information. I would suggest that rather than trying to make cmeta:comment computer readable, you find a specification for how to write the information you want to convey using RDF (or if there isn't one, propose one), and then document how it fits into the RDF associated with a model as a best practice.
