thanks, I'm trying it.

the plan 9 papers seems to use whitespace-separated
paragraphs instead of indented ones.
I'm trying to achieve that effect with additional commands in
the document; I guess it could be done in p9article.cls instead.

before the \begin{document} I add:

\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\setlength\parskip{0.25\baselineskip} % the 0.25 is just a guess

these seem not to affect the abstract,
so I also add after the \begin{abstract} :

\setlength\parindent{0pt}
\setlength\parskip{0.25\baselineskip}
\noindent
