Here is an example of a ezcontentclass/class-kbs.xml (the class definition file), it's an interesting read. with a little printed documentation (package syntax / examples) it would be fairly simple to generate an xml class definition for your custom comment class.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
