I agree it lines things up right horizontally. What I complained
about is that (at least in -ms) a separate EQ-EN pair for each

look like a coherent whole.

Is that because of the spacing inside the .EQ/@EQ macro

I do not get that problem with -mm. However, my solution screws badly
with the left margin.

Personally, I just use extra '~' in front of the short ID

Here it is:
.br
.EQ
~~~~~~~~~~~~ doug ~ mark = ~ expression1
.EN
.br
.EQ
malcolmdouglasmcilroy ~ lineup = ~ expression2
.EN
