First, I'm defaulting to 11-point font, which renders much nicer (the
"Internet" vaguely suggests using 11- or 9-Point for serifed fonts). This verified on GNU/Linux, Mac OSX, Windows, and OpenBSD. Noted in mandoc.1. Then added a3, a4, a5, letter, legal, and custom page dimensions. These seem to be the main players. Noted in mandoc.1. Lintified the casting.
