i guess at a minimum, we'd want to replace \*(Px with "POSIX". i have a feeling mandoc should probably support this sequence though. or at least its omission should be noted in mandoc_char(7). ingo/kristaps, any comment? but maybe first try and find out if the function was ever in any standard and, if not, just remove the entry. jmc
