It is not required by the spec, don't see why we should provide one.

Please state your need for it.

With your logic: GenericName is not required by the spec too. Why did you add GenericName? Maybe delete? Not?
"Comment" is tooltip for Modern Style Menu KDE. "Comment" is tooltip if you put desktop file on the Desktop. "Comment" is tooltip for other DEs. etc.
Everybody wants to have high quality Menu and not only for KDE. It should be done for all KDE apps.

Because having a GenericName makes sense, why would i delete it?

They are doing it wrong, the spec is quite clear you should not be redundant, "Comment:	Tooltip for the entry, for example 'View sites on the Internet'. The value should not be redundant with the values of Name and GenericName. " so if there's no Comment those DEs should be falling back to GenericName and then to Name. Please propose patches to those projects.

> Because having a GenericName makes sense
Yes, for KDE only.
Having a Comment makes sense too.

> They are doing it wrong, 
Not. You do it wrong. Missing DE, what uses GenericName, except KDE. But Comment is in use by KDE too. If somebody want to add "Keywords" or other optional key, why not?

> the spec is quite clear you should not be redundant
You understand spec wrong. Spec is about: Name <> GenericName <> Comment. All fields are different.

Please provide a comment.

Thanks for understanding.

Proposal:
Universal document viewer

Unfortunately that's redudant with the generic name and thus agains the spec.

grep -ir "Universal document viewer"
empty.

Name=Okular
GenericName=Document Viewer
Comment=Universal document viewer

Do you like "Multi-document viewer software" for Comment?

yeah redundant doesn't mean exactly the same words, means "saying kind of the same", but whatever
