There just seemed to be something missing. Yes, it would take up less
space, but then why not go to some other mode? It's the only time I've
seen something on the subject, and I think it could have better been
handled.

Fair enough. If the idea were to conserve bandwidth, you'd probably be
using narrow band FM anyway at which point SSB-NBFM takes no less bandwidth
than convention SSB-AM and... it _might_ even have worse SNR, although I
don't know calculations off-hand. Hence I suspect that SSB-FM is nothing
more than a curiosity... could be fun to implement just for the sake of
experimentation once we're all running software defined radios, though!

From your description it sounds like someone was excited by the novelty of
the idea but ran out of steam before actually implementing the idea!
