Yum's tsflags=nodocs aka rpm's --excludedocs applies to all files 
flagged as documentation (try 'rpm -qd <package>' to see them), this 
happens automatically for man pages as long as they live in normal 
paths. For example:

[pmatilai at mursu ~]$ rpm -qd telnet
/usr/share/doc/telnet-0.17/README
/usr/share/man/man1/telnet.1.gz
[pmatilai at mursu ~]$
