mdoc editing caveats?

[Rich Morin]

I'm inserting "LEGACY SYNOPSIS" sections to some mdoc-based
man pages.  Using .Fo and .Fa in these sections, I find that
they act differently than they do in the SYNOPSIS section:

  *  .Fo does not force a blank line.

  *  .Fa (just after .Fo) does not cause a line break.

Before I edit the macros to act "just like they do in the
SYNOPSIS section" for the LEGACY SYNOPSIS section, I thought
I should ask if anyone has any caveats to offer.  Nu?
