Do we care for manpage links in <title> elements?

This is not the only case where <title> embeds a &man.xxx.N; link, so I
think we need a more general plan for all of them :-)

If there are no serious objections I'll convert all of these to the
text-only version of the same manpage(section) at first, to fix the
immediate rendering problem.  Then if/when I find a way to automatically
do the right thing in <title> elements, I'll do that too.
