[Groff] -mm equations (revisited)

Hi everyone, there appears to be a problem with my 1.18.1 version of mm equation label aligning. I write this in.
.DS L
.EQ "(1)"
a + b = c
.EN
.DE and something like this happens:
paragraph  line 1,
continoues into 2,
both are aligned. a+b=c (1) i.e. the starting "edge" of the label lies at the ending edge of the paragraph. Help? Bug? (Another question: Why not add a -ms compatibility layer to -mm, for example, .MSEQ L instead of the lengthy -mm prologue?) This way we would all get our TOCs going without awk and standard error support. BTW: Why not add namespaces to groff, so macros from different packages would not collide? BTW2: Why not add line styles for the various paragraphs in -mm or -ms (i.e. a line on top or bottom of a paragraph). Similar to AbiWord. I know this is easy to do with \l'' but... ... ... ... You know what I mean. groff is growing old too, it should be packed with features like these by now. Or rather, my experience with other programs is, that ppl who stick to old versions of a program (not necessarily groff) for some reason, try to mimick features from advanced version in their older programs using existing (older) functionality.
