Hi,

man-pages(7) has the following order:

NAME
...
VERSIONS [Normally only in Sections 2, 3]
ATTRIBUTES [Normally only in Sections 2, 3]
STANDARDS
...
SEE ALSO

There's no HISTORY, which I'm going to add, right after STANDARDS,
since it's very related. I'm not convinced by attributes being
between VERSIONS and STANDARDS, since those two are also very related
but have nothing in common with ATTRIBUTES.

I propose changing to the following order:

ATTRIBUTES, VERSIONS (moved), STANDARDS, HISTORY (new).

So that the three related sections are together. Any opinions?

Thanks,
Alex
