That one is high on the to-do list, because it seems to be a pretty common error. I haven't seen any instances where "jj" was anything but a misrecognized thorn, but I think I should search the text and compare a couple dozen cases against the original pages. I've learned the hard way that when it comes to global replacements, it pays to look before you leap!
