The grog source code has a comment:

_.TH is both a man(7) macro and often used with tbl(1).  We expect to find .TH
in ms(7) documents only between .TS and .TE calls, and in man(7) documents
only as the first macro call._

I understand the intention of this comment to be that grog should not identify
a document that has only a .TH macro between the .TS and .TE macros to be a
-man document. Yet it does. I noted this by running grog on the table example
file that was posted on the list in
<39c18b7c-000b-44c9-9047-626f15290e08@email.de>

But since it has no bearing on the formatting, maybe it's not worth bothering
with?
