Having worked on a distribution of TROFF stuff,  I can understand:
the documented and shipped versions were different.  Usually the
documention was generated for some fancy "internal" stuff, but the
shipped was the generic "vanilla" form.  Personally,  I wish they
would ship the "rocky road" stuff, complete with bugs,  as long as
it kinda matched the documentation.
