Anyone know of a template for "standard manuscript format" ... as

  I don't know where he gets his ideas, but if you want to emulate that, use
the article class with a monospaced typeface as the default. I submit
typeset articles in pdf to journal editors, and only the most retrogressive
ask that I put them into M$ Word format.

  His comment about making the content more important than the visual
appearance is belied by the rest of his suggestions. Typeset material is so
much easier to read that the content stands by itself. His blog entry was
visibly irritating for me to read.

  Heck, use OO.o if that's the appearance you want. Don't use a typesetting
application to make a document look non-typeset.
