Sure. For the record, "French spacing" is a highly ambiguous term - in
the US, we've completely reversed the definition. Let's go with one
space.

While we're on the topic, I'm a little frustrated with asciidoc. On the
one hand, it has a bunch of little formatting gotchas, and on the other,
it has a lot of dependencies. I'm rather tempted to move to manpage
format. It'll reduce the tools needed for basic UNIX install and
conversion to HTML or plain text can be done in numerous ways.
