This is what I ended up pushing about a day ago (in UTF-8).
Region options
The line immediately following the .TS token may specify region
options, keywords that influence the interpretation or rendering
of the region as a whole or all table entries within it
indiscriminately. They can be specified in any lettercase
(unlike AT&T tbl, which accepted only options with all characters
in the same case) and must be separated by commas, spaces, or
tabs. Those that require a parenthesized argument permit spaces
and tabs between the option’s name and the opening parenthesis.
Options accumulate and cannot be unset within a region once
declared; if an option that takes a parameter is repeated, the
last occurrence controls. If present, the set of region options
must be terminated with a semicolon (;).
Any of the allbox, box, doublebox, frame, and doubleframe region
options makes a table “boxed” for the purpose of later
discussion.
Whatever its other virtues, it doesn't mess up the pleasant page breaks
in the PDF version.
