Hm, yes you are right.  I got confused with the few different places
I saw the package description.  So I checked again.

1 - On the web page of marmalade it is ok
2 - In emacs, the description with list-packages and showing the details
    has the ';;'
3 - If I use `package-upload-buffer' it will create a 
    sparkline-readme.txt also containing the ';;'.

It does not really matter but it bugs me.
Just for my information, I assume it is supposed to show without the
';;' for single file emacs packages right?

Ah, that is good to know.  


Well, if it keeps bugging me, I will try to figure out what goes wrong.

Also, I appreciate the time you took to check out the description.
