Peter Schaffter observes in
http://lists.gnu.org:443/archive/html/groff/2021-08/msg00019.html:
"Nowhere is there any indication what style of bibliographic formatting is
provided by the ms/mm/me implementations of refer(1), a matter of some
importance for authors preparing submissions and students writing papers. Mom
is upfront about formatting in MLA style, which is useful to groffers seeking
a macro package that does MLA. I believe the other packages should follow
suit and state, in their manpage or in refer(1), which style guide is being
followed for refer(1) bibliographies."
