To summarize:
. .EX/.EE and .DS/.DE should be added to the man macros.
. .SY and .OP together with .TQ (as the `standard' extension to .TP)
should be used within man pages, but its definitions should be
copied to the limbo of each man page since we can't assume that
those macros are present in any other man implementation.
What else?
BTW, I don't mind to recommend that .EX/.EE and .DS/.DE are defined in
the limbo also; processing time and size constraints in man pages for
those few macros can be really neglected IMHO.
