Comment :  There are many issues with section 4.2.7 as outlined in our other comments regarding this section.   For all the intents and purposes of section 4.2.7, it could simply be replaced with the requirement "All functions over 10 lines must contain a comment header that states the function’s purpose, inputs, and outputs."   With this simpler language, the limit of 'ten' lines could be reduced even further (to say 'five' or 'four').

Proposed change:  Remove the whole of Requirement 4.2.7 ('a' through 'e') and replace it with the following language ""All functions over 10 lines must contain a comment header that states the function’s purpose, inputs, and outputs."
