Because comments are used very differently in Calc, with their position and
size relative to the rest of the content possibly being something important to
the user (i.e. sized to not hide spreadsheet contents), and with the authorship
possibly being completely irrelevant. (i.e. comments used as instruction
popups. Users would be annoyed seeing author names and dates polluting the
content.)

I previously thought they should be made more consistent with Writer's comment
but Maxim's comments in bug 73537 comment 7 (and the discussion on gerrit) made
me reconsider.
