Actually, after fixing the .XS/.XE placement issue,
the output is nearly fine:

http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/coarweb/doc.html

One problem I can see is that the last 2 words in
the longer heading titles have been merged together,
i.e. the whitespace is missing, e.g.:
 
http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/coarweb/doc.html#7.%20Remote%20operations,%20execution%20segments%20and%20image%20controlstatements

Any idea what can cause this?

Another minor nit is that the pi symbol is
rendered correctly in the body, but missing
from headings or the TOC entry:

yes in the text:
 
http://eis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/coarweb/doc.html#10.%20New%20Fortran%202008%20construct:%20DO%20CONCURRENT
 
no in the header:

This exact command didn't work, but passing a
user defined register to groff does work:

.if \n[toc] .RP no

I now build PostScript with -r toc=1,
but not html.

Many thanks
