+The DATE in the .TH macro should reflect the most recent non-trivial
+update to the content of the manpage; formatting changes don't count.
+Spell out the date (no abbreviations or shortcuts):
+
+ January 2, 1904
+
+not the unparseable
+
+ 01/02/04
+
+Don't abbreviate the month.
+
+
+In the FILES section, prefer the default .TP indent. The pathnames are
+variable and long, so any indentation value that works for you won't
+work for someone else.
