[GRASS-dev] v.surf.bspline man page

[Benjamin Ducke]

That's reassuring, thanks Markus.
Incidentally, since HTML housekeeping is such a boring
chore but so crucial: Do you guys think it would make
sense to have a "man page improvement day", similar to
a code sprint, but with the whole community dedicating
perhaps a day to finding problems in man pages and fixing
them?

I am not just talking about correcting errors, but also
rephrasing things that are hard to understand or elaborating
on aspects that aren't explained verbosely enough.
