This...

    .Bl -tag
    The
    .Nm
    utility reads files sequentially, writing them to the standard output.
    .It Xo
    .Em start
    and
    .Em size
    .Xc
    fields provide the start address
    and size of a slice in sectors.
    .El

works fine using groff 1.19 with -z -ww -mandoc options here.
