Does it really need to be something more important than NOTE? If you are working on the code you should be reading that NOTE anyways, so why not use a word with more specific meaning? Or even just IMPORTANT. Before this thread I would have never known what XXX meant, having never seen it before.

I suppose if its defined somewhere as a standard for everyone working on the code it may make sense. Just doesn't feel very intuitive to me.
