What I would prefer is something like this:
CREATE TABLE foo( f1 int NOT NULL COMMENT 'the first field', f2 int NOT NULL COMMENT 'the second field', ... );
which would ensure the comments are both next to the field definition they're documenting and that they make it all the way to the database. I looked into the biggest products, and MySQL supports this syntax. I couldn't find any similar syntax in any other product.
+1 for the idea - though restricting it to columns would not be ideal.
