You can use <comment> prior to docbook 4.0 or <remark> after 4.0. You can control whether these get printed by using

(define %show-comments%
  ;; REFENTRY show-comments
  ;; PURP Display Comment elements?
  ;; DESC
  ;; If true, comments will be displayed, otherwise they are suppressed.
  ;; Comments here refers to the 'Comment' element, which will be renamed
  ;; 'Remark' in DocBook V4.0, not SGML/XML comments which are unavailable.
  ;; /DESC
  ;; AUTHOR N/A
  ;; /REFENTRY
  #t)

in your stylesheet customization.
