+- .Fn reopens a new scope after punctuation in mandoc,

+- .Nx 1.0a
+ should be "NetBSD 1.0A", not "NetBSD 1.0a",

+ loc * exist * algo * size * imp **
+
+- In .Bl -tag, if a tag exceeds the right margin and must be continued
+ on the next line, it must be indented by -width, not width+1;
+ see "rule block|pass" in OpenBSD ifconfig(8).
+ loc * exist *** algo ** size * imp **
+
+- When the -width string contains macros, the macros must be rendered
+ before measuring the width, for example
+ .Bl -tag -width ".Dv message"
+ in magic(5), located in src/usr.bin/file, is the same
+ as -width 7n, not -width 11n.
+ The same applies to .Bl -column column widths;

+ An easy partial fix would be to just skip the first word if it starts

+- The \& zero-width character counts as output.
+ That is, when it is alone on a line between two .Pp,

+- Sequences of multiple man(7) paragraphs (.PP, .IP) interspersed
