Please give one or two examples of the information you include in [Comments]
when there are no sources.

When ever I get information from another, whether off a web site, email, or
hard copy, that does not explicitly cite sources, I try to learn from that
author what I can about sources. As you say, that's very often nothing. Then
I document what I learn in the Comments in the Source definition. Then I
modify the full footnote template to add the [Comments] element if it isn't
there already, so if I print something that cites that source, the reader
will know what I know. Lack of information means nothing is known about that
source, at least in my data, and thus I assume the worst.
