(actually, I believe we need to say > "e.g."). The document contains both usages. Actually I had never seen the two-period usage before -- I've always used and seen it used with one period (though you're right that both are common). Since we're already inconsistant, I'll leave it with one-period but add the @:. I certainly won't object if you or anyone else wants to do a sweep and make them all the same. If you do, by the way, there are other instances of "etc." in the document that need the @: operator.
