Capitalization in .SS sections across pages (and sometimes even
within a single page) is wildly inconsistent. Make it consistent.
Capitalize first word in heading, but otherwise use lower case,
except where English usage (e.g., proper nouns) or programming
language requirements (e.g., identifier names) dictate otherwise.

koi8-u.7 was not the only character set page displaying lowercase
hexadecimal numbers. The patch addresses this minor issue for
armscii-8.7 (other will follow, capitalized number are mostly used,
and that is the way they are presented in Unicode.

Octal and hexadecimal values are right, but there are some
off-by one errors in decimal values. Correct values are
printed by this command:
perl -pi -e 'if (s/^([0-7]+)\t([0-9]+)\t([0-9a-fA-F]+)//)
{printf "%03o\t%d\t%s", hex($3), hex($3), $3;};' man7/*.7

Nowadays mandb has provision to understand a character set
encoding that is explicitly indicated in the first line
of the source. As pointed out by Colin Watson, including
such an explicit indication on pages encoded in anything
other than ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8 is useful for man-pages
that aren't shipped in UTF-8.
