Yes, that makes sense.
However, it's just OpenBSD's cvs(1) that is special,
mandoc(1) can handle $Mdocdate$ on any platform,
so i will use this wording:

  To have the date automatically filled in by the
  .Ox
  version of
  .Xr cvs 1 ,
  the special string
  .Dq $\&Mdocdate$
  can be given as an argument.

I have fixed your other findings in my tree, so if this goes in,
they will be contained.

Thanks,
  Ingo
