`Plain groff'? What do you mean? Using those hypertext macros
unconditionally prevents man pages from being portable...
A possible solution is to have something like this in the header of a
particular man page:
.ie \n(.g \{\
. mso www.tmac
.
. de UN
. URL \\$1 \\$1
..
.\}
.el \{\
. de UN
. <do something>
..
.\}
groff's .URL macro is much more powerful than .UN -- .UR/.UE looks
strange to me anyway.
