    also look at the mail from Thomas Klausner wiz at NetBSD
      on Wed, 2 Jun 2010 11:01:29 +0200
+   joerg@ has patches for this somewhere...
  - look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1)
    These are a weird mixture of man(7) and custom autogenerated low-level

  - explicitly disallow nested `Bl -column', which would clobber internal
    flags defined for struct mdoc_macro
+ - inside `.Bl -column' phrases, punctuation is handled like normal
+   text, e.g. `.Bl -column .It Fl x . Ta ...' should give "-x -."
+ - inside `.Bl -column' phrases, TERMP_IGNDELIM handling by `Pf'
+   is not safe, e.g. `.Bl -column .It Pf a b .' gives "ab."
+   but should give "ab ."
  - set a meaningful default if no `Bl' list type is assigned
  - have a blank `It' head for `Bl -tag' not puke
-Line 62
+Line 70

  - 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)
+ - allow `Qq', `Dq', `Sq', `Aq', `Bq' to have 0 arguments
+   noted by Alex Kozlov 08/06/10 23:05
+ - 'br\} doesn't correctly close scope.
+   Noted by joerg@, 28/7/2010.

  - perl(1) SYNOPSIS looks bad; reported by deraadt@
 ) man(7) seems to need SYNOPSIS .Nm blocks, too
+ - In .Bl -column,
+   .It Em Authentication<tab>Key Length
+   ought to render "Key Length" with emphasis, too,
+   see OpenBSD iked.conf(5).
  - empty phrases in .Bl column produce too few blanks
    try e.g. .Bl -column It Ta Ta
    reported by millert Fri, 02 Apr 2010 16:13:46 -0400
+ - %A doesn't put an "and" before the final author name.
  ************************************************************************
  * formatting issues: gratuitious differences
  ************************************************************************
- - none reported right now (yet schwarze@ knows of some)
+ - .%T should be quoted, not underlined, when .%J is also present,
+   to better distinguish the contents of .%T and .%J,
+   see for example OpenBSD cat(1)
+ - .It ${name Ns [ selector ] Ns }
+   should be "${name[selector]}" not "${name [selector]}"
+   This is parsed as
+   text("${name") text("[") Ns() text(selector)...
+   Opening punctuation should not fall out of .Ns.
+   see for example OpenBSD csh(1)
+ - .%A should append the last author with " and " (if there are two)
+   or ", and " (if there are more), not ", "
+   see for example OpenBSD csh(1)
+ - In .Bl -bullet, the groff bullet is "+\b+\bo\bo", the mandoc bullet
+   is just "o\bo".
+   see for example OpenBSD ksh(1)
+ - .No text No ) is "text )", not "text)"
+   see the terrible example
+     case word in [[(]  pattern [| pattern] ... ) list ;; ] ... esac
+   in OpenBSD ksh(1)
+ - .Sm should *not* produce as a blank line in .Bd -literal
+   see for example "Brace expansion" in OpenBSD ksh(1)
+ - The characters "|" and "\*(Ba" should never be bold,
+   not even in the middle of a word, e.g. ".Cm b\*(Bac" in
+   "mknod [-m mode] name b|c major minor"
+   in OpenBSD ksh(1)
+ - A bogus .Pp between two .It must not produce a double blank line,
+   see between -R and -r in OpenBSD rm(1), before "update" in mount(8),
+   or in DIAGNOSTICS in init(8).
+ - .Bd -literal and .Bd -unfilled are *not* identical.
+   In -literal, tabs are 8 spaces.
+   In -unfilled, tabs are 5 spaces, just like in -filled and -ragged.
+   See the CCDF_* display in OpenBSD ccdconfig(8).
+ - In .Bd -unfilled, .Pp should produce one blank line, not two;
+   see the ccd.conf display in OpenBSD ccdconfig(8).
+ - .Nx 1.0a
+   should be "NetBSD 1.0A", not "NetBSD 1.0a",
+   see OpenBSD ccdconfig(8).
+ - In .Bl -tag, if a tag exceeds the right margin and must be continued
+   on the next line, it must be indented by -width, not width+1;
+   see "rule block|pass" in OpenBSD ifconfig(8).
+ - When .%T is used outside an .Rs context and with a trailing comma,
+   there is no point in rendering two commata,
+   see the first paragraph of the DESCRIPTION in OpenBSD mount_nfs(8).
+ - When .%T is used outside an .Rs context and without a trailing comma,
+   no comma should be rendered at all,
+   see the first paragraph of the DESCRIPTION in OpenBSD exports(5).
+ - Bogus .Pp before .Bl should not cause a double blank line,
+   see "The route utility provides the following simple commands:"
+   in OpenBSD route(8).

  - improve hashing mechanism for characters (not as important)

  ************************************************************************
  * structural issues
  ************************************************************************
+ - rendering frontend code can calculate widths only for plain strings,
+   not for strings containing escape sequences.  For example, this
+   hinders calculation of the indent required for .Nm \&[ in text(1).
+   comments from kristaps@  Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:26:08 +0200
+ - another example of the same problem:
+   .Bl -tag -width "\eD{format}XX" -compact
+   in OpenBSD ksh(1) gives the wrong width
+   because "\e" is one character in groff, two in mandoc
+ - Now that `ds' is minimally supported, we can get rid of some
+   predefined strings.  \*(C+ has already been thrown out.  Track these
+   down and whack them.  Look in e.g. gcc.1 for the top-level `ds'
+   invocations.  These are reproduced across most crappy GNU manuals.
