English grammar: commas and relative clauses

Rule:
Relative that follows its antecedent:
When a relative (clause) immediately follows its antecedent, and is taken in a restrictive sense ("restrictive clause"), the comma should not be introduced before it.
The relative clause gets completed with a comma though. Of course it gets omitted, if there is a period anyway.
