Summary: command in cmdsynopsis is not indented

Initial Comment:
in manpages, 
<cmdsynopsis>
<command>foo</command>
<group><arg><option>-a</option></arg></group>
<group><arg><option>-b</option></arg></group>
<group><arg><option>-c</option></arg></group>
<group><arg><option>-d</option></arg></group>
<group><arg><option>-e</option></arg></group>
<group><arg><option>-f</option></arg></group>
<group><arg><option>-g</option></arg></group>
</cmdsynopsis>

is presented as
foo -a -b
____-c -d
____-e -f

i.e., the options are indented from the left margin
by the width of the command name.

in HTML no such indentation is done:

foo -a -b
-c -d -e -f

this does not look good.

as a workaround, is it possible to set style for this
with an external CSS stylesheet? does the <p>
element the cmdsysnopsis is in have a
class=cmdsynosis attribute?

fixing this might be as easy as adding 

style="text-intent: X+1 em;"

attribute to the <p> element 
to which cmdsynopsis is transfroemed.
X should be the number of letters
in the <command> element contents.
