I have to say that the double lines between sections do help with
native readability of the document.

The b4 documentation is already pretty good and the submitter side is
focused on a single task so it's much easier for people to navigate
than something like git where there's a lot of flexibility, I'm not sure
rewriting an abbreviated version is a great idea.  Someone with a better
idea of what would be useful could always follow up and add that.
