Various pages: Drop t comment header
Historically, a comment of the following form at the top of a
manual page was used to indicate too man(1) that the use of tbl(1)
was required in order to process tables:
'\" t
However, at least as far back as 2001 (according to Branden),
man-db's man(1) automatically uses tbl(1) as needed, rendering
this comment unnecessary. And indeed many existing pages in
man-pages that have tables don't have this comment at the top of
the file. So, drop the comment from those files where it is
present.

standards.7: Correct various details in the explanation of XPG/POSIX/SUS
As reported by mail from Geoff Clare, there are some details that
need correcting:
Subject: standards(7) (was: man-pages-5.07 released)
Date: Wed, 10 Jun 2020 10:53:14 +0100
From: Geoff Clare <gwc@opengroup.org>
...
The first isn't really a problem, just an oddity. You list
POSIX.1b as "formerly known as POSIX.4", but you don't do the
equivalent for POSIX.1c ("formerly known as POSIX.4a").
There are several problems with the XPG3 entry:
"first significant release" - although I suppose XPG3 could
be considered more significant than XPG2 because it was the
first one to incorporate POSIX.1, I don't think it's fair to
imply that XPG2 was not significant. (E.g. XPG2 was
significant in that it was the first release to include
I18N, and the first that had a conformance test suite.)
"produced by the X/Open Company, a multivendor consortium" -
this conflates two different things called X/Open. X/Open
Company Limited is the UK company that did the editing work,
organised meetings, etc. X/Open Group is the consortium
whose members developed the technical content.
"This multivolume guide was based on the POSIX standards" -
at the time there was only one POSIX standard, namely
POSIX.1-1988. The first release to incorporate POSIX.2 was
XPG4 (which you may consider worth noting in the XPG4
entry).
To fix these problems I would suggest changing the entry to:
XPG3 Released in 1989, this was the first release of the X/Open
Portability Guide to be based on a POSIX standard
(POSIX.1-1988). This multivolume guide was developed by the
X/Open Group, a multivendor consortium.
Under SUSv2 I would suggest changing:
Sometimes also referred to as XPG5.
to:
Sometimes also referred to (incorrectly) as XPG5.
Under POSIX.1-2001, SUSv3: "XSI conformance constitutes the Single
UNIX Specification version 3 (SUSv3)" is problematic. I think I
touched on this in the previous discussion. I would suggest
deleting that sentence and instead inserting, before "Two
Technical Corrigenda ...", the following:
The Single UNIX Specification version 3 (SUSv3) comprises the
Base Specifications containing XBD, XSH, XCU and XRAT as
above, plus X/Open Curses Issue 4 version 2 as an extra volume
that is not in POSIX.1-2001.
Something similar is needed in the POSIX.1-2008, SUSv4 entry where
it talks about "the same four parts". The extra volume this time
is X/Open Curses Issue 7.
