Hi,

the only point i strongly care about is this one:

Manual pages should not use
 * non-standard syntax
 * non-portable syntax
 * ambiguous syntax (i.e. syntax that might have different meanings
   with different compilers or in different contexts)
 * syntax that might be invalid or dangerous with some widely
   used compiler collections like GCC or LLVM

Regarding the discussions about standardization and extensions,
all proposals i have seen look seriously ugly and awkward to me,
and i'm not yet convinced such ugliness is sufficiently offset by
the relatively minor benefit that is apparent to me right now.

Yours,
  Ingo
