I've learnt the FreeBSD man page Do's and Don'ts I'm aware
of by gleaning at commits doc people do and at what they
change/suggest when asking them to fix/review a man page.
AFAICT "rules" like the one mentioned above aren't
documented anywhere but I could be wrong and all of this
actually is burried in mdoc(7) somewhere, I just haven't
found it, yet :)
