...sorry, Secret Squirrel, but I'm still just as confused, or even more so now :P The abbreviation for the singular isn't the same as the plural... it says right there that the abbreviation for singular is p. and the abbreviation for plural is pp.

If you're saying that we should just always use p. I'm fine with that. I'm fine with whatever abbreviation we use. I just want to know which one. And if we're going to use p. then perhaps the submission guidelines thread for scans should be updated, because right now it's telling me to do pp.
