I would line break after the comma, quote the multiword literal in case
the bold attribute gets stripped out of the output (copying and
pasting man page text into emails, for instance), and use font style
macros instead of font selection escape sequences.

I'd say "baud rate" as two words in English prose (contrast with C), but
"than" is correct.

I agree.

I agree.  Comma splices are evil.

Incidentally, when checking for semantic newline issues, I use the
following search pattern in Vim.

/[.;:].

Strictly, I should say

/[.;:!?][^\\]

and were to bind that to a key, that's probably what I'd use.
