It is neither possible to document such minor details (which i would
not even call a style convention) nor desirable to attempt to,
lest we drown in unimportant rules.

I do document some recommendations that are below the threshold of
warranting inclusion into manual pages on

  https://mandoc.bsd.lv/mdoc/

but this particular detail is way below the threshold for inclusion
even in that extended documentation.  If people do it differently,
it doesn't really matter.

This for writing and checking the page.
I just committed it.
