Page layout description file variables changed

Description

Before it used to be that Comment1 was called out as ${COMMENT0} and so on down the line.

Now, COMPANY is being called out as ${COMMENT0}, Comment1 as ${COMMENT1}, etc.

Is this right? I'm personally happy that the shift is gone and CommentX is ${COMMENTX} (please don't change this back) but it doesn't seem right for COMPANY to be ${COMMENT0} when it already has ${COMPANY}.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Observe how sheet labels get mapped to a frame template.
