So, IMO, if the DR test case is "tricky" in some way and we're trying to demonstrate that we're testing a specific sentence or two from the standard, then I think a comment with standards wording is reasonable (please don't just cite `[foo.bar]p12` though -- add the standards wording!). However, if the test is pretty straightforward, or the DR explains in more detail what's going on, then I don't think we need to add the comment (the references get stale rather quickly, even with stable names as in C++).

I think that this one is the case when DR explains it better, because that's what it is about. Adding a comment seems more appropriate for something that's not given enough attention or accent in the whole context of a DR test, as opposed to test code itself.
@shafik Is it fine by you if I don't add any comment?
