   - fix bad block nesting involving multiple identical explicit blocks
     see the OpenBSD mdoc_macro.c 1.47 commit message
   
   - we need real .ds; for example, terminfo.3 has
     .ds n 5
     and then later
     \fBterminfo\fR(\*n)
     reported orally by halex@ during c2k10
   
   - \*(Pu is not implemented, but used in mdoc.samples
     implementing .ds would solve this as well

   - implement blank `Bl -column', such as
     .Bl -column
     .It foo Ta bar
     .El
   
 - FIXED OpenBSD term.h 1.16 term.c 1.30 mdoc_term.c 1.75 schwarze 23.4.10  - explicitly disallow nested `Bl -column', which would clobber internal
   handle tab characters outside literal context, e.g. usb(4)    flags defined for struct mdoc_macro
   reported by jmc@  Mon, 19 Apr 2010 07:42:12 +0100  
   NEEDS MERGING TO bsd.lv  
   
 - FIXED OpenBSD man.h 1.15 libman.h 1.16 man_hash.c 1.9  - set a meaningful default if no `Bl' list type is assigned
   man.c 1.25 man_macro.c 1.15 man_validate.c 1.19 man_action.c 1.15  
   man_term.c 1.28 man_html.c 1.9 schwarze 25.4.

   - have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke
   
   - ignore horrendous m[] font colouring
     reported by J.C. Roberts
   
   - prohibit `Nm' from having non-text HEAD children
     (e.g., NetBSD mDNSShared/dns-sd.1)
     (mdoc_html.c and mdoc_term.c `Nm' handlers can be slightly simplified)

 - do not break the line after "--", it's probably a long option

 - URGENT, this is making many kernel manuals look bad:  
   .Ft/.Fn should MAYBE behave in custom section like in SYNOPSIS?

 - lines containing blank characters, and nothing else,  - none reported right now (yet schwarze@ knows of some)
   in literal context (.Bd -literal):  
   groff outputs just blank lines "\n"  
   mandoc outputs blanks to the left margin,  
   then the number of balnks minus one

 - OpenBSD::PackageName(3p) has "if (block) 90:1" in the parse tree  Several areas can be cleaned up to make mandoc even faster.  These are
   
   - improve caching mechanism to handle other per-element arguments so
     that they need not be recalculated between front- and back-ends (also
     reduces code size and complexity):
       `Bl -column' pointer
   
   - improve hashing mechanism for macros (quite important: performance)
   
   - improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important)
