??? For a ferromagnetic calculation, the up and dn DOS must be
different. Otherwise, how could you get a spin excess (and a non-zero
spin moment over the entire unit cell)? For AFM, the total up and dn DOS
will be identical, but the up and dn DOS for an individual atom will not
be (spin excess per atom, non-zero spin moment per atom).
