Please let's not go around tweaking pixels. The original code was just fine AFAIAC. Not sure why it had to be changed, but I don't want to have to write crud like that.

The original code was doing pixel-tweaking: this line is not aligned with the equalities in the align, and &\quad was manually spacing it by one em with respect to the alignment point (whereas \span makes it unaligned).
Similarly \text relied on the text fitting on one line, whereas \parbox allows linebreaking.

It's hard to believe that these changes are an improvement. We should strive to keep the source comprehensible. In particular, I am pretty sure that the next time I reference RKN methods I will forget about the silly \Endash.

I completely hate the new format. It is way too narrow and makes the bibliography entries hard to read with multiple word breaks and many lines per entry (even ignoring the XVIIth century oddities, we have numerous entries that span 6-7 lines).
I'd be happy to keep this document one-sided. Alternatively, organize the two-sidedness so that the body of the text keeps the same width and the [XXX] handles are hanging on the left.

Agreed, and done. The wide margins from basestyle make sense for the other documents where they can be used for figures or review annotations, but the bibliography doesn’t have figures and it is hard to imagine we will be doing much scribbling in its margins; this is made worse by the bibliography effectively having its own margin for the labels.
Changes:
\textdisplayfrom the\title(note that this has the effect of setting the author and date in the display font as well).twopage.extdashand\Endashfor linebreaking of Runge–Kutta[–Nyström] in the bibliography, instead of a mix of unbreakable--and literal–, and breaking but verbose--\allowbreak. The packageextdashprovides\--which would be less verbose, but which appears ot fail to break when used in the bibliography.\titleinstead of a\sectiontitle.
