I agree in part. I like top/bottom borders for "major sections" (define for yourself what constitutes major). I don't have many sprocs with major sections, but I do have a number of maintenance or build scripts with major sections, and I like having the borders to highlight that fact. Perhaps this is anal of me, but I have a template with the borders measured just long enough to go all the way across the page if it is printed, and not wrap to a second line. But I agree with getting rid of left/right borders. Too much of a pain.

I like a comment block at the top that includes a brief narrative and a revision history, but if the history is really getting lenghy in comparison to the rest of the code, perhaps it should be truncated or summarized. I have seen, and do NOT like, date-stamped comments about each minor change within the code. Similar to the "old code" comment, it tends to overrun the code and make it hard to follow what is really going on. When I want to know exactly what changed, I go back to my version control system and run a Diff comparison.
