[Bioc-devel] minor suggestion for BiocStyle?

[Wolfgang Huber]

AfaIcs everybody (incl. myself) involved in this so far is an amateur when it comes to graphics design and text layout.
This not to minimize the technical achievement!
Anyway, input from someone with graphics design / text layout credentials (also privately) is welcome.
