That is known legacy weirdness that has been maintained to avoid breaking 10+ year old pipelines.

Background: In ~2013 I wrote Java/OWLAPI code to build ncbitaxon.owl and tried to exactly match the output of the previous code base (which was probably OBO-format based; @cmungall might remember). In 2020 I wrote the new Python code, and tried to match my previous output exactly.
