Some even spell it like "System VR3" (minnie.tuhs.org).  In any
case, `.At V.3' clearly refers to SVR3.

If you want the representation changed to "System V Release 3",
I'm okay with this (as one of mdoc(7) maintainers).  Please
send-pr(1) me this to FreeBSD GNATS, so I don't forget it, and
I will take care of it when I'm back from my vacation.
