Thanks for looking, i have put it in.

So far, we say very little about how specific input will be physically
formatted, we rather document how the input should look like with
respect to syntax and semantics.

That said, mentioning this might make sense, so i have taken a note
in my private TODO file (i don't think it warrants a public TODO
entry).

The upcoming reordering should be done first.  Also, this is a
typical case where mdoc(7) and man(7) and even other macro packages
behave the same way, so it belongs more in roff(7).  I still hope
that we can move common stuff there, pointing to it where required,
to avoid duplication and make mdoc(7) and man(7) shorter.

Yes, we should probably return to that at some point.

Yours,
