Only where documented, namely inside the first argument of \eqn{} and
\deqn{}, AFAIR.

The argument is `v': documenting it as `m' is incorrect. You need
\item{v}{factor or matrix.}
\item{w}{factor.}
or better make `my.table.margin' generic with factor and matrix methods
(but still agreeing on their first argument).

Why do you need Rd.sty in there? It works for 416 packages on CRAN with
no such copy. That's the cause of F), as you are trying to overwrite R's
Rd.sty -- why?
