That's silly.  It's pretty clearly information which is primarily used 
programmtically.  If it were real comment data we wouldn't be trying to 
make it not show up in the interface.  A sufficiently knowledgeable user 
can read pretty much any raw data; that seems irrelevant.  I've never 
seen any moderately popular program that intentionally showed users CDDB 
IDs (including iTunes). 

GEOB isn't specifically for binary data -- it's for generic data with a 
given mime type.

I'm not completely against changing this, but if it's going to be 
changed I'd prefer to have a catalog of how various popular tools on 
various platforms handle the comment.  Short of that, well, it's just 
Yet Another iTunes Bug.
