I am uncertain about this change.  I like the idea of getting rid of
`PD` calls, but I think there in value in having `TQ` possess semantics
of "here is another tag that is related to the previous one after a TP
call".

You are (ab)using TQ here to avoid inter-paragraph space.  As I noted in
a message of a few minutes ago on the groff mailing list[1], it might be
better to wait for what settles out of a discussion of the `BL` /`EL`
macro pair I have (not yet formally) proposed for a post-1.23.0 groff
man(7) extension.

Branden
