Personally, what I really miss in the -man macros are the list macros from
mm -- .VL, BL, .DL, et cetera.  .IP and .TP do work but are a bit awkward.
I've not been able to get the old kludge for bullet lists to work:

.IP "\(bu" 4

It also seems like tables in man pages don't work when I create HTML pages
out of -man source.  Eric, do your tools handle tables well?  I don't try
to do any fancy tbl stuff in man pages...
