Yes, that's right. I had thought that the suggestion was to preserve indentation within comment blocks, in the same way that indentation is preserved in text, which seems very reasonable to me. In the current version, comments always indent to three spaces. > [...] I proposed to remove the extra rule of indentation > for comments/directives *entirely*, keeping only the standard > propagation of indentation.

While I didn't introduce the comment indentation, I do personally find it useful to stay inside of the comment block, particularly when writing code snippets. At the least, I think this would need to be something disabled by the user, as suggested by Christian. There could also be some odd consequences here, e.g. autoindentation of the whole file, that would need to be explored.
