I kinda disagree here. That's a *reference* documentation, for the days you are looking for information on a specific command. This kind of grouping belongs to the pdf documentation, doesn't it?
As for all the bugs you submitted, a patch would be welcome. But believe me,
you don't want to patch the man page since it's automatically generated...
