Comment :  In respect to the requirement in item (a)(2), "Other units called and the calling sequence;", this requirement is burdensome and serves little rational purpose.  It should be removed.  If it is not removed, then at least an exception should be made to allow the documenting of the calling sequence in a separate document outside of the source headers.  Right now functions that are used throughout the application, for example ‘Log()’, require a header with literally hundreds of lines of comments.

Proposed change: Remove this requirement.
