Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62926 (project groff):

No comment on the first sentence because it is not very specific.

I do not object to the rest of the original submission.  But i strongly
disagree with the summary.  mdoc(7) has always consistently styled .Xr as \fR
for terminal output whereas man(7) has been inconsistent over time.  In v7, it
even styled manual page cross references differently inside and outside of SEE
ALSO.

So if anything, man(7) ought to adopt the established convention of mdoc(7)
rather than infect mdoc(7) with its own instability.
