Description
This has been discussed. Formally, creating an issue for it.
Currently, we lose comments / docs from Wit text formats when compiling to the binary Wasm component file format. This is especially an issue when publishing to the Warg registry that is designed to only accept Wasm binary files.
Likely implementation would involve some custom section convention.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the discussion in this issue and how Wit text formats become binary Wasm component files. Define a custom-section convention that preserves comments and documentation for Warg registry publishing, then establish validation for the preserved data.
