Say you have a picture with a new Person.
Currently, you just type "Lea" <ENTER> in the "Persons" listbox and that's it, 
I love this simplicity and effectiveness. 
If you have to add clutter on this dialog, or if I have to enter the comment
about this new person later, say in the browser, I would find it very boring.

So I would recommand following rule :
Type "Lea<ENTER>", you have a new keyword "Lea"
Type "Lea : this is my girl<ENTER>", you get a new keyword "Lea" with a
comment which begins after the semicolon, ie.  "this is my girl"

Of course, the comment should be editable in the browser too.


My 2 cents.
