- mandoc replaces all ASCII control characters except tab and line feed

with '?' during input. It would be better to replace them with

Unicode escapes in preconv_encode() or somewhere in the vicinity,

such that the already existing better replacement strings show

up in the output. Emulating groff is not desirable: groff replaces

0x00, 0x0b, and 0x0d to 0x1f with the empty string (bad because

that's easy to overlook for the document author), 0x01 with '.'

(very confusing), and passes through 0x02 to 0x08, 0x0c, and 0x7f

raw (bad because that is insecure output). Remember that 0x07 may

need special handling because it is sometimes used for certain

delimiters, so it may need handling *after* roff.c rather than before.

reminded by John Gardner 16 Jun 2020 14:26:28 +1000

Actually, more ASCII control characters than just 0x07 may need

later handling because they can for example be used in macro names.

So they may need handling after roff(7) processing.

- Inspect httpd(8) logs on man.openbsd.org and consider

whether logging can be improved, where bad syntax comes from,

and what needs to be done to get rid of COMPAT_OLDURI.

- Enable HTTP compression by detecting gzip encoding and filtering

output through libz.

- Privilege separation (see OpenSSH).
