Secondly, I couldn't find where the DD register is documented.
It's present neither in the MS man page nor in the groff online

Agreed; there needs to be an entry in the "Document control
registers" section of 'man groff_ms' (which does have an entry for
PD, etc.).
Larry, may I ask you to provide a patch for groff_ms.man?
Attached.
Note that DD also applies to equations, tables, and pictures (pic) as
well as displays. At least that's what the source code says. :-)
