Turbo, Good points, especially that "the Close button as part of the tabs isn't that perfect."
We don't have the ability right now to accept comments directly into the prototypes - there's something in beta, so perhaps soon. Until we have that ability, I think the easiest way to track related comments is to post replies inside the forum topic.
