+- clean up escape sequence handling, creating three classes:
+  (1) fully implemented, or parsed and ignored without loss of content
+  (2) unimplemented, potentially causing loss of content
+      or serious mangling of formatting (e.g. \n) -> ERROR
+      see textproc/mgdiff(1) for nice examples
+  (3) undefined, just output the character -> perhaps WARNING

 - port OpenBSD tbl integration bsd.lv, probably cleaning it up
 
 - look at pages generated from reStructeredText, e.g. devel/mercurial hg(1)
