The first word after “related documents” is “specify,” which doesn’t sound 
advisory to me.

I don’t think the external spec page is of sufficiently broad interest to 
highlight it here.

(To imply that our tool man pages are “specifications” is a bit much, but 
making that distinction isn’t worth the trouble here.)
