Hmm, where is 'man' format specified by POSIX? POSIX specifies an
extremely minimal form of the 'man' command (and this only for systems
that support the User Portability Utilities option), but I don't see
where it specifies 'man' format.

Or perhaps you're referring to the textual format of the POSIX
standard itself? In that case, I'd say that it's not appropriate for
all forms of documentation; certainly not for GCC.
