BTW, doubling 8 vs. 5 and 6 is correct in single deck play (which PP is not).

Doesn't it also have to be against a house that stays on soft 17? I don't remember I haven't checked up on BS in a while.

Basic strategy is to double regardless of whether the house stands on soft 17. A separate composition dependent strategy limits doubles to the exact cards (5,3) and (4,4). See The Theory of Blackjack by Peter Griffin, which has changes to basic strategy for rule variations and any number of decks.
