You wouldn't want the comment, but the profile *could* be used by the browser. I admit that I have no idea if it is used by any browser today (I recall having read about profiles somewhere on the Mozilla site).

I agree that profiles don't matter (much) for your avergage navigation image, but for hi-quality pics it may be of importance.

And even for the comment there are uses: embedded title, copyright info etc.

Setting or unsetting label/comment shoud be straightforward and easy for the content element. The profile would require rather an awkward configuration, since you have to add a file to the image. But of course Typo3 could come with a default  set of profiles. I am no graphic artist, so I dont know if  a limited set of profiles makes sense.
