Looks good to me. The only thing I don't get working is the
indentation of the text paragraphs:
.TP
.B "Menu "
.I menu-name
.BI "[ " position " ]"
bla blub
results in
Menu menu-name [ position ] bla blub
and
.TP
.B "Menu "
.I menu-name
.BI "[ " position " ]"
bla blub
gives me
Menu menu-name [ position ] bla blub
bla blub
but we want
Menu menu-name [ position ] bla blub
bla blub

Looks good to me. The only thing I don't get working is the
indentation of the text paragraphs:
.TP
