Yes. I got my ASCII confused. :-)

Sorry, I wasn't aware of that. Please change the documentation as
needed. I don't know how Mew and Wanderlust handle formfeed characters
in article buffers (it seems at least Mew handles them as page breaks,
but doesn't display a button like Gnus does?). If the formfeed creates
any problems or unwanted behaviour with other readers, I could either
completely remove it, or maybe just put it in if the shimbun is used
within Gnus?
