It has been that way for a very long time. These articles are much like the recursive make considered harmful articles.

I still use them today because that's how my brain is wired. I'm not going to change. I had in no way suggested that people should change any of their habits that they have grown used to outside of this special case for our documentation. Everyone is free to use as many (how about three for a change? :)) or as few spaces in other contexts like emails and other text that they produce. I'm sorry if that was the impression from my earlier post.
