ahh it doesn't eat preceding space, just omits trailing space.
This section could be better written as:

.BR .tag1
.I foo
this emits
.I foo
as a special without a trailing space.
[Again this is under construction - it is equivalent to
\fC.nop \eX^html:\e\e$*^\ec\fP]. Notice how there is no
\e& before the special is emitted, unlike \fC.tag\fP.
.

My documentation was ambiguous, sorry,
