well, it has been so for a long time; originally there were also %S 
lines for the formal command definitions

anyhow, the %D is used to signal text that wil be typeset in a 
'documentation run'

in the editor that i use, i can remove/add %D's on a selection, so it's 
no real burden

no, but it's just that i like a spacy layout; if it does not work, then 
there is a bug in ctxtools

in ctxtools.rb, locate:

                                    inlocaldocument = indocument
                                    inlocaldocument = false # else first 
line skipped when not empty

please test all kind of variants (there most have been a reason for 
this, so it may as well be a bug related to translating from perl to ruby)
