Yup.  The standard was developed for manual typewriters, and that shows
you how many carriage returns you need between lines.

It's also, I suspect, why the paragraphs are always left-justified with
the margin:

1. This is the first paragraph.
The second line of a paragraph just wraps, and goes to the next line.

  a.  sub paragraph a. is indented a bit on the first line
And successive lines are back on the left margin.
