Hmm, that must be new in CSS (i stopped at CSS2).
But that has nothing to do with roff, let alone groff, right?
I referred to for example mdoc(7)'s .Sx command.  And i think even
Kristap's and Ingo's mandoc C parse tree will not automatically
perform this adjustment (so that the tag for less(1) that mandoc
can generate, somehow, is correct), but i have not verified that.
