     				 The Rd files where generated from the
original tex document by means of a little perl script. This explains
also the poor quality of the Rd files: What's the best way of expressing
math such as $\sigma^2$ in Rd? Is there a way expressing this sort of 
math in Rd, that will preserve the tex expression for the latex docs
generated from Rd and at the same time translate into something legible in
the html docs?

This (unlike quite a lot of  things) *is* documented.
doc/manual/writing-Rd.tex describes how to give equations that have both
TeX and plain text versions. The Poisson help page
src/library/base/man/Poisson.Rd has an example.
