I thought I knew the meaning of the "+" at the
end of parameter specifications -- "the final
term can be repeated".  But now I'm not certain.

In a spec like:

   property [append] string string+

it makes sense, you could have multiple property
strings.  But you can only have one estimate style
for each DLE, client, calcsize, or server.  What
does the "+" mean in this parameter specification?

You can have multiple estimate:
  estimate calcsize client server

use calcsize estimate if the application can do it (not all application can do calcsize estimate) or use client estimate if the application can do it (not all application can do client estimate)
or use server estimate.
