Summary:
Some translation tools like pootle http://pootle.translatehouse.org/ need to know where a note comes frome, as there are multiple sources for notes, for example the translators.

When using the NSLocalizedString(@"String, @"Comment") marco, the comment will be wrapped in  <note>Comment</note> tags. According to the XLIFF 1.2 Specification (here http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/xliff-core.html ), this means the author is unspecified. 

The author should be "developer":
<note from="developer">"Comment</note>

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use localized string makro, for example NSLocalizedString(@"some string", @"some comment")
2. Export Localization to XLIFF
3. Open the XLIFF in any texteditor

Expected Results:
The comment should be wrapped in a note element with the string "developer" as attribute:

<trans-unit id="some string">
        <source>some string</source>
        <target></target>
        <note from="developer">some comment</note>
</trans-unit>

Actual Results:
 <trans-unit id="some string">
        <source>some string</source>
        <target></target>
        <note>some comment</note>
</trans-unit>


the 'from="developer"' attribute is missing in the note element
