Double-spacing was not done for line-breaking before: Bulleted lines was
indented with single space + space-bullet-space bullet hint. And I kept
such bulleted lines on a single line to not cause line-breaking mess.

But if you insist that this will work, I am willing to give it a chance
(even without proof, and I am to lazy to make thorough tests myself).
