I don't have sufficient experience to know why the xslt man page generator is
indenting the output, but this is what is causing the dot directives to be
interpreted literally (e.g. .SH).

A simple work-around would be to post-filter the output:

  zcat /usr/share/man/man1/notify-send.1.gz |
      sed 's/^ *//; /^\.HP .*notify/d' |
      man -l -

seems sufficiently readable.
