Yes, it definitely reads better with a comma. Let's go that route.

To recap, the example comment will be:

At the risk of beating a dead horse, and not that it would ever happen, but
who arbitrates disputes if the text of accompanying LICENSE-1.0 differs
from the text found at http://www.boost.org/LICENSE-1.0 at some time in the
future?  If boost is going to assume [the] responsibility for protecting
the integrity of electronic records over time, wouldn't prudence suggest
the addition of something like a message digest (e.g., MD5 or SHA-1)?

Ok, I've spent WAY too much time around these AAA drafts [but note that I
didn't ask for authentication (e.g. HMAC) this time].  ;)  Please don't
yell.

I'll go quietly now...
