Thanks for pinging.

So, lots of these look like some bike-shedding
for the sake of bike-shedding, without really
improving the quality of the documentation.

For example, is 'foreign-character-set' really
an improvement over 'foreign character-set'?
Is character-set an improvement over character set?

I think both changes are worse.

On the other hand, there are actual fixes
for omissions, like:

	-.B "newdev {low|full|high} \fIport\fP
	+.B "newdev {low|full|high|super} \fIport\fP

and styling issues like:

	-.I str ,
	+.IR str ,

If I could have this without the bikeshedding,
that would have been ideal.

Anyways, I think qwx is looking at this patch,
so I'll let them handle it.
