[Groff] question about .rs and .nop

The groff manual says:

.rs       Restore spacing; turn no-space mode off.

However,
  .rs
  .sp 3
does not work; one has to output some text first, to get .sp to work.

Is this a bug in groff, or in its documentation?

What is the rationale for this behaviour?


About the .nop request:

.nop anything
                 Always process anything.

What is this request good for?


Kind regards
