My reasoning behind using a semicolon is that this is the defined statement in the Language Specification for denoting an empty statement, and something that code checkers/syntax parsers/etc can easily be told to look for. One syntax, no ambiguity. As opposed to comments which are not the language-specified way to indicate an empty statement, are ambiguous, and make it difficult for checkers to discover.
