299 ↗	(On Diff #41874)	I would poke manpages about this part- spacing in man pages always squigs me out, but IIRC this isn't one of those "really needs a space there" scenarios.

libc/sys/recv.2
299 ↗	(On Diff #41874)	No space is needed; it only comes into play on lines that interpret macros (i.e., start with '.').

299 ↗	(On Diff #41874)	Ah, ok, I wasn't sure if there were other things like the comma after e.g. =)

The reason the lint tool flagged up the Tn macro, mdoc(7) states:
"Tn
Supported only for compatibility, do not use this in new manuals. Even
though the macro name (``tradename'') suggests a semantic function,
historic usage is inconsistent, mostly using it as a presentation-level
macro to request a small caps font."
