Unix nroff hardly ever complains about anything.  If it comes across a
macro invocation that has no definition, it just silently ignores the
whole line.  I can't say this is desirable.  Almost all of the
complaining that comes out of nroff comes from the various macro
packages (such as "me").  So, saying that nroff didn't complain doesn't
necessarily mean that it loved it.  I would take a close look at the
output if I were you.
