My reference is the ‘man-pages(7)’ manual page from
<URL:http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man7/man-pages.7.html>:

    The first command in a man page should be a TH command:

        .TH title section date source manual

    where:

        title   The title of the man page, written in all caps
                (e.g., MAN-PAGES).

That's quite old, what system is it from? On my Debian Squeeze system,
the same document ‘/usr/share/man/man1/man.1.gz’ has the following TH
command::

    .TH MAN 1 "2009-03-14" "2.5.5" "Manual pager utils"
