Would it be a big deal to post A4 and US-letter size versions?

I think full quadding would look better, too.

While we're talking tinkering, I haven't run your changes but I assume the
body-start-indent variable brings the text closer to the left margin.  That
would be an improvement; I thought the current margins wasted a lot of
screen space or paper.  Widening the margin would also be good for code
examples because one could display lines in a format more likely to be seen
in a buffer.
