Yes, I think you're right.  No good reason I can think of, although 
since it's unlikely that any program is going to look for the tag 
"#default_realm", it's pretty close to a comment functionally....

Please file a bug report (krb5-bugs at mit) if you think it should be 
changed to be an official comment syntax.
