Good idea, I'll concentrate the efforts there. However, since the man page is clearly deficient wrt documentation of _application_ conformance, I will also submit a short patch to grep.1 which simply suggests that the reader refer to the info(1) doc for more detailed discussion of conformance issues. That should cover all bases.
