There are at least two other issues, but both are so hard to fix and so rare in practice that i decided to mention them in the TODO file rather than fixing them right now, see the commit below. > Yeah, it _is_ insane.

The groff_www(7) manual page itself uses them, too. We should probably *not* add them to mandoc. Just mentioning this here to keep track of the abuse.
