how about a standard for online docs as well?

Hello.  I suggest you use the mke2fs format.  Because if busybox is  
built without CONFIG_FEATURE_VERBOSE_USAGE then you don't get the  
full usage, just the one liner.  And "mknod [OPTIONS] " is not only  
bigger then "mknod [-m]", but it isn't even useful as a reminder.

Yes it's redundant.  But that's because one is a summary of the  
other. [OPTIONS] is more redundant, because almost all commands  
except options.
