"For instance, I've installed node.js via homebrew which means I can type man node"

Hmm. If I release a project, node.hs, can I also name my man page 'node'? What happens if there is a collision?

Are there rules of etiquette when deciding what to call you man pages entry? I.e., what it not have been better for node.js to have it's entry be 'nodejs' or 'node.js'?
