What you are asking for is actually somewhat in progress. There is currently 
development under way for a kvtml data class. Presently this is done within a 
branch of KWordQuiz located in branches/work/kwordquiz. The ambition however 
is to move the new classes (KEduVocExpression and KEduVocDocument) to 
libkdeedu when they are more mature. They can then be shared among 
applications. You are welcome to participate in this work. Current lead 
developer for this is Eric Pignet (see CC).

Kvtml supports a remark attribute to the main <kvtml> tag, i.e. <kvtml 
remark="This is my file description"> (see the dtd for all possible 
attributes). The only editor that supports all the attributes is currently 
KVocTrain. See Document Properties under the Vocabulary menu.

HTH,
Peter
