Double spacing is my preference, and I appreciate your sending a new
patch which doesn't take that out.

But *please* let's not try to make "requirements" along those lines.  If
somebody's going to go to the trouble to write some documentation, I
don't think we really want people bouncing it back to them with 100
"single space after period" errors from checkpatch.pl...

Thanks,
