It's so you know that the page isn't blank as the result of a printing
error. The perfect example is one of my Borland Prolog manuals. It has a
page that was Unintentionally left blank!
Indeed, and as I sometimes take pains to point out, the spaces left
"INTENTIONALLY BLANK" are not blank at all. My preferred notation which
IIRC I first saw in an ICL manual is : "This page intentionally contains
no information" or words to that effect.
