It does need it, I just haven't updated the splain.tex file (the
lplain.tex on ymir is semi-official; the changes have been
supplied by Frank Mittelbach who is heading up the development of
LaTeX 3.0, but Leslie Lamport hasn't supplied his imprimatur
yet).

I'll get an updated splain.tex up on ymir sometime in the next
few days and announce it in comp.text.tex
