"with the ISO C standard"

i thought you wanted to avoid "a.k.a." ?  or does that not apply to 
parenthetical asides too ?

should all these random preferences be added in man-pages(7) ?  off the top of 
my head:
	- userspace vs user space vs user-space
	- a.k.a. / e.g. / i.e. usage
	- NUL usage (or lack thereof)
	- HISTORY should be a .SS of NOTES
	- wrapping based on periods/commas
	- preference for 75 cols

some of these could even be checks added to scripts/ ...
