I’m now about to sit down and deal with the copy editing notes from my publisher’s person, 98% of which are about double spaces after periods –– which I still believe in thanks to my youth in front of a typewriter!

This is not the worst problem in the world –– and truthfully will probably involve me simply clicking on the ? a few thousand times but still it does feel like a weird punishment for turning in such a tight manuscript (there are probably like 10 edits/corrections over the 365 pages.)
Anyway, just to give you a little hands on feel for what I’m dealing with:
