Yes--it will make certain legacy ms documents prepared by the Bell Labs
CSRC fail to render. An example of an AT&T "technical report" is CSTR
#54, frequently referenced in *roff discussions; it is the reference
manual for Ossanna/Kernighan nroff and troff.

Yes, that's likely a separate issue and might require a separate
solution.
For this issue, I think `TH` and `TR` are simple non-starters as macro
names for any auxiliary package that wants to interoperate with ms(7).
I suspect hdtbl will have to revise its naming convention.
