>Description:
	XFree86 uses spaces instead of hyphens (-) in the plain text (cat)
	versions of the man pages.  Some examples:

	xdm(1) -> Proto col, typi cally, termi nation, dis play,
	          termi nal, ter minals, cus tomize, speci fied,
	          typ ically, sys tem, direc tory, trou ble, ...

	xdpyinfo(1) -> signifi cant, dis played, and so on, ...

	On the other hand, xdpyinfo(1) uses "extension-name" in the
	synopsis, but "extension Name" in the man page.  I think
	that replacing "extension Name" with "extension-name" is
	better.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Looking at any XFree86 man page...

>Fix:

	At this time, I am not sure about what is the problem.
	Perhaps plain text versions of the man pages are build in
	the wrong way, or (very improbable) all the man pages are
	based on a wrong template.
