So you put "&minus;" in the .8 file, which is converted to "-" for
HTML - but what happens for "man openconnect"?  Will groff understand
"&minus;" and output a "proper U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS"?  (Not that it's
particular fun to edit such .8 files then...)

(There's a famous saying about "it would be much easier to teach them
all English" when it comes to internationalization, charsets, and all
that pain...)
