Doug and I talked about this off line. Doug predates all versions of

In the message below the "Am I wrong wanting" and the specs are me,
his response is below that.
Anyone arguing for \sDD is just misguided. If you want two things it
is \s(12, if you want N things, groff gave you \s[1234].
Could we please just converge on this spec? I'm old and tired but if
we can get agreement on this and noone wants to do the code I'll take
a swing at it.
While the cognoscenti continue to debate how many angels can stand on
the head of a pin I am prepared to regard Larry & Doug as definitive.
