Follow-up Comment #9:
Fixed, as in documentation rewritten, in
866bc203326528237f08f7debe9061ba8f430e1e.
I did look into what it would take to get adjustment to be weighted more
strongly for the additional inter-sentence space than for ordinary inter-word
space, and it is not trivially easy, at least not with my current level of
understanding of src/roff/troff.
By the time extra space needs to be distributed, _all_ interword spacing on
the line has been converted to generic "space nodes" which don't know whether
they're between words or between sentences.
A vague picture in my mind began to form of how I might overcome that (add a
flag to the space_node class, or subclass it), but at the same time I realized
I don't actually know if it is typographically _sound_ to distribute extra
space the way I was planning.
I guess I should bring this to the discussion list.
Let me know if the new documentation is (or is not) an improvement.
Thanks for the report!
