(blush) Worst example I could have chosen... This is bad.
Yes, you are correct, a period and 2 spaces would be required.
It's not entirely obvious, since you can argue that the comment
is not a sentence.  However, for something that long, either we
make it a real sentence, or we think of it as a sentence.  Only
in the case of very short comment can we get away with no period
at the end of comment...

Thanks for catching this.  I will fix the code...
