the for command assigns each individual word to $comment in turn

so you want to put all of the tags into one long comment tag?

how about this (as a small script. Also attached)
#!/bin/bash
# take a filename as the first argument:
file=$1
comments=""
# the next line will wrap. It shouldn't be kept that way!
for line in `ogginfo $file | grep = |cut -f2| sed -e 's,^,-c \"&,' -e 's,$,
\",'`; do
#the 'cut' command strips the leading tab
#(assuming it is a tab, It is in my oggs)
#the 'sed' bit puts the -c and quotes at the
# beginning and end of the line.
comments="$comments $line"
done
# output result on stdout to check it.
echo "comment tags are: "$comments
