A) You're in really good company. :)
B) I expected a lot of nits to be picked on this project, which is
why I wanted to do a "first draft" and solicit comments. I'm not overly
concerned about getting _my_ way on a lot of these things, so long as we
get a style that is consistent and that everyone can live with.

Well, that was definitely the old typographical convention, but in
the digital age it's fallen into disfavor. It was easier to delete the
second space to make them all consistent, but I can go with double spaces
if that's the consensus.

My pleasure actually. This project is something that I've wanted
to see accomplished for several years. I'm happy that the momentum is
swiging this way finally.
