I suspect it's related to EU-required watermarking: > Having said that, in areas where there is an arbitrary choice between particular words or terms within the code, the watermark can be used, such as comments within code. But by definition, it will have a negligible effect on the actual code produced. [1] I've found that you can reduce the prolixity before (or afterwards) by asking it to use ASD-STE100 Simplified Technical English or ISO 24495-1 after deciding whether a particular comment is worthwhile. (I've since included a standard for "worthwhile" because the clanker doesn't have a good bead on _that_ matter.)
