I guess Mikle tries to say that nroff(1) splits man(7) pages
into individual pages of about 60 lines and puts a header line
and a footer line on each page, as opposed to putting one header
and one footer at the very beginning and end, like mandoc(1) does.

I don't think this feature needs fixing right now, it doesn't make
that much of a difference.  We might or might not change it later,
when we have a better control over ports manual formatting in
general.
