I'm not convinced about this change:


@@ -1976,7 +1978,7 @@ or
 or its synonyms is called;
 these clear the indentation entirely.
 .
-Relative insets created by
+Insets created by
 .B .RS
 move the left margin and persist until
 .BR .RS ,


RS insets are relative (to other RS), aren't they?  They specify the 
left-margin inset relative to the current left margin (rather than 
absolute to the terminal 1st column, or equivalent for other devices). 
I don't think removing relative was a good choice, was it?

Alex
