It reminds me of flow charts.  One job we had to do flow charts of 
everything.  So we worked up a system where we used physical scissors 
and sticky tape to paste the comments from the code onto big sheets of 
paper, and a secretary made them pretty.

Nobody ever looked at the flow charts, but it did help discipline us to 
comment every branch in the (micro-)code.
