The doublespace package is mentioned in the first edition of The LaTeX
Companion, but it is dropped in the second edition because it is
obsolete.

The setspace package is a better choice.  For example, (this is from
the .sty file):

- Double spacing is turned off within footnotes and floats (figures
  and tables).

- Proper double spacing happens below tabular environments and in
  other places where LaTeX uses a strut.

- Slightly more space is inserted before footnotes.
