Do you mean '%'?  If so it's not part of the output and I do not agree
that LaTeX has notes.  There exists several packages enabling some
type of notes, or exporting pdf notes.  The right approach (IMO) to
add e.g. pdf notes is inlinetasks and altering
org-latex-format-inlinetask-function.  It would be interesting to add
support for pdfcomment.sty, I think.

> odt format: has notes

I assume you mean the comments that in recent version of Libreoffice
show up on the side of the documents.  Again, I don't agree that they
are comments in the sense that '^#.*' is a comment.  Again, I think
the correct approach for adding such notes is inlinetasks.

As for how to handle comments: I don't care.  For me comments are a
temporary state before moving to a separate "* trash :noexport:" or
ARCHIVE heading.
