both of those derive from the fact that
i wrote it so i could share math-heavy
tex files with non-plan 9 users.
extra spaces don't matter in math mode.

i have little idea how to start looking
at the toc generation.  perhaps you could
start by looking at the unicode support that
howard wrote, which appears to work its magic
by setting all the bytes that are valid first
bytes in a multibyte utf-8 sequence to be
escape codes of some form.  or so i gather.
i'm very foggy about it.  _the latex companion_
probably will tell you how the tocs are
generated.

i am always amazed by people who swear off
troff as too much black magic and turn instead
to latex.
