A suggestion: Arguments to .UE and .ME, if any, should be glued on to the
end of the output. Thus:
> .\" End URL.
> .de UE
> . ie \\n(mH \{\
> . br
> . di
> . ev

> . do chop URL-div
> . do URL-div

> . \}
> . el \
> . do HTML-NS "<a href=""\\*(m1"">\\*(m1</a>"
> \&\\*(m2\\$*\"

Also, is there some reason .MT/.ME aren't written in terms of .UR/.UE? It
would seem natural to write
de MT
.UR mailto:\\$*
