Rather than putting range on each parameter on every sub-page of tc man
page. Why not put something in tc.8 under UNITS.

The following implies everything is floating-point which it isn't:

UNITS
       All parameters accept a floating point number, possibly followed  by  a
       unit.

I would like this section broken down to cover all the generic types
  PARAMETERS
     RATES
     TIMES
     SIZES
     VALUES

Also needs to explain IEC units here.
