I don't mind to use two-letter versions for those two macros.

Please bear in mind that it is not the goal of man pages which come
with the groff package to be readable by all Unix versions! I'm
definitely *not* going to replace \[xx] with \(xx, for example.
The changes to the groff man pages I agree with is to use a unified
`man' interface to make doclifter's (and some viewer's) life easier.
Thus I don't see a need for more intrusive changes at all.
