Sure. Feel free to go over our manpages and fix them. It's a minor issue.

And while we're on the subject, there's a bit of background to this commit.
Back in 2012 I started fixing mandoc lint errors/warnings in our manpage
collection (excluding stuff from contrib/ and gnu/ etc.). I think I got them
down from around ~4000 issues to almost zero. Quite a few manpages didn't
even work with mandoc at the time, due to how many syntactical mdoc errors
they had. The situation is still good, but I re-ran my scripts yesterday and
found a slew of new warnings. I fixed a few obvious ones, but if someone with
more time on his hands wants to help, please go ahead. A good starting point
would probably the netmap.4 or ctl.conf.5 manpages, they seem to generate
quite a few warnings.

I'd also be grateful if everyone ran mandoc -Tlint on their manpages before
committing. :-)
