Is that kind of like waiting to buy a hybrid until all cars work on hydrogen? Further, the "mainstream" cases are plenty fine with single spacing. And if you need proof of the rule "showing its face" then the fact web browsers already force single spacing regardless (because extra spacing is ignored in HTML markup) means it's a pointless habit to continue to propagate if you do any work in the mainstream of technology these days. The only "mainstream" case one could make is using Microsoft Word, and even then, when documents are printed double spacing is horrendous given the high resolution of printed output. Sorry... I'm not buying your particular line of logic. -- Andrei Herasimchuk Principal, Involution Studios innovating the digital world e.
