I think I see what you mean: if the comment would not be there, the text
would look as follow:
,----
| Some text
|
| Some other text
`----
for the exporter. So the comment here
,----
| Some text
| # comment
| Some other text
`----
is ignored, but not the empty line resulting - is this correct? I think
the confusion is that comments in org are between comment lines and
inline comments in this regard.

Don't worry - I am happy as it stands now and have no complains.
