One potentially nasty drawback to this practice (I found) was that if you change the pseudo-argument in any way, you lose whatever connections were made to that inlet or outlet in the outer patch. I agree with you that comments are a pain in the neck, but at least they don't exhibit this often hard-to-find side effect.

quick question: is it legal to (ab)use creation parameters to inlets and outlets for documentation, or does that lead to unwanted side effects?
i'd like to do something like this:
[inlet Set level in dB]
[inlet Set Fader position in mm]
[outlet Current level in dB]
[outlet Current Fader position in mm]
[outlet~ Gain coefficient]
of course i could use comments, but i don't like the way they don't line-wrap in a controlled way, plus their association to what they are annotating is a bit weak for my taste...
best,
