- .TP before .SH is still FATAL in man(7)

-- the roff parser doesn't tolerate additional characters between
- a macro and the \} terminating a conditional block, e.g.
- .if n \{
- .br \}

- \c (interrupted text) occurs in chat(8)
-- \f(CW (constant width font) occurs in rsyncd.conf(5).
- I think we should treat unknown/unavailable fonts as \fR
- such that switching back with \fP works correctly -
- and doesn't revert the _previous_ \fP.

--- missing mdoc features ----------------------------------------------
- fix bad block nesting involving multiple identical explicit blocks
- explicitly disallow nested `Bl -column', which would clobber internal
flags defined for struct mdoc_macro
+- In .Bl -column .It, the end of the line probably has to be regarded
+ as an implicit .Ta, if there could be one, see the following mildly
+ ugly code from login.conf(5):
+ .Bl -column minpasswordlen program xetcxmotd
+ .It path Ta path Ta value of Dv _PATH_DEFPATH
+ .br
+ Default search path.

- inside `.Bl -column' phrases, punctuation is handled like normal
text, e.g. `.Bl -column .It Fl x . Ta ...' should give "-x -."
- .RS/.RE can be nested, see e.g. the x11/fluxbox manuals
noticed by dcoppa@ Wed, Apr 13, 2011 at 04:58:14PM +0200:
+ also affects p5-Net-SFTP-Foreign-1.65

*** sox(1) still doesn't work, tbl(1) errors need investigation
+- allow standalone `.' to be interpreted as an end-of-layout
+ delimiter instead of being thrown away as a no-op roff line

--- missing misc features ----------------------------------------------
- clean up escape sequence handling, creating three classes:

- .Rv (and probably .Ex) print different text if an `Nm' has been named
Also have `It' complain if `Pp' is invoked at certain times (not
-compact?).
+- .Pp between two .It in .Bl -column should produce one,
+ not two blank lines, see e.g. login.conf(5).
+ reported by jmc@ Sun, 17 Apr 2011 14:04:58 +0059

- If the *first* line after .It is .Pp, break the line right after
the tag, do not pad with space characters before breaking.
