I don't say that it is a bad idea, but it would be better to have a 
different workflow rather than modifying edit_workflow.

As you know, edit_workflow is used for many portal types, and it is 
triggered each time when you save a document. If you require the user 
to do one more step even when the user simply wants to fix a typo, it 
is too irritating. For software development, this kind of feature is 
useful, but this is very inefficient for data management.

BTW, do you need to have such a comment by using a workflow really? 
Doesn't it fit into a description of an object instead?
