Waypoint, Routes and Tracks in Gpx have a formal tag <cmt /> and <desc /> The other main types have something called <extensions /> that allow you to add whatever content you want. The only requirement is that what you put in there is linked to a different schema so you can't use the default namespace for your tags.

You can put something like <myns:cmt>Comment here</myns:cmt> in there assuming you define the myns namespace in the top.

  • You can read more about this in the Gpx specs here
  • Garmin uses extensions extensively. To get an idea how they do it you can get their schema here

Assuming GPX = GPS eXchange Format it's just XML so a standard XML comment is all you'd need:

<!-- XML Comment -->
