  Comments:
All the refs have another sense ("small; minor"), which seems to always be in the form こまごま(と)した. We already have an entry for こまごました; should we just add one for こまごまとした?
Daij also has some more senses, but I don't see them anywhere else.

I think this might deserve to be a Priority entry. While it's tough to tell the relative frequency of こまごま versus ほそぼそ as written in kanji without going through stuff manually, "細々" "こまごま" gets a few more hits than "細々" "ほそぼそ". Also, "こまごま" gets 12.9M hits versus 1.2M for "ほそぼそ". Since the news frequency source didn't contain readings, it seems possible that all the hits for 細々/細細 got lumped together and applied as frequency to ほそぼそ, while perhaps both readings should actually be Priority entries.
