I believe this is indeed one of the extremely rare occasions where
adding another argument to the dubiously designed .St macro of
the mdoc(7) language is indeed the right thing to do: basically,
arguments make sense for major issues of the POSIX and C standards
(but not for mere revisions or technical addenda).

Consequently, OK schwarze@.

The mdoc(7) manual page also needs an update to document the new
argument, but that is not a precondition for commit.  Either of us
can do that after the commit.

Of course, after that, i'll also have to push the new argument to groff
such that OpenBSD manual pages won't become incompatible with groff,
but i don't think pushing that is going to cause any headache.

Job, i assume you are follwing the topic, so it would be quite
appreciated if you (or anybody watching) could post a pointer to
the new standard here once it becomes publicly available.

Yours,
