I should have spent a little longer on that comment since I tossed the ball
back into your court, even if just for advice.

> Please confirm my understanding of the foregoing and I will proceed with the
reversion right away.

Specifically, am I correct to claim either of the following?

A.  "[G]iven that mom has her own system of managing fonts, and part of her
contract with the user [...] is that [the] user will not go behind her back
and start invoking *roff requests." is a false statement.  (Possibly an
exaggeration.)

B.  The statement "By issuing appropriate formatter instructions, you can
override these defaults before your document writes its first glyph." in our
manual should be dropped, or revised to stipulate that some macro packages
(namely _mom_), will assume that that before a document requests a glyph to be
formatted, mounting position 1 will be assigned to a style named 'R'.

Thanks for any light you can shed here.
