Many issues are annotated for difficulty as follows:
--- missing roff features ----------------------------------------------
+- \*(.T prints the device being used,
+ see groff_char(7) for an example
+ This is slightly hard because -Tlocale only decides to use ascii or
+ utf8 when initializing the formatter, so the information is not
+ yet available to the preprocessor at the parsing stage.
+ loc ** exist ** algo * size * imp *
+
- .ad (adjust margins)
.ad l -- adjust left margin only (flush left)
.ad r -- adjust right margin only (flush right)
--- missing man features -----------------------------------------------
+- .SY and .YS,
+ used by many groff manual pages
+
+- preserve punctuation following .ME,
+ see ditroff(7) for an example
+
+- .TQ tagged paragraph continuation,
+ see groff_diff(7) for examples
+
- groff_www(7) .MTO and .URL
These macros were used by the GNU grep(1) man page.
+ The groff_www(7) manual page itself uses them, too.
We should probably *not* add them to mandoc.
Just mentioning this here to keep track of the abuse.

loc * exist *** algo *** size ** imp *
+- support .ds requests inside tbl(7) code,
+ see tbl(1) for an example
+
- support mdoc(7) and man(7) macros inside tbl(7) code;
probably requires the parser reorg and letting tbl(7)
use roff_node such that macro sets can mix;
* formatting issues: ugly output
************************************************************************
+- .UR can nest inside .TP,
+ see roff(7) for examples
+
- revisit empty in-line macros
look at the difference between "Em x Em ." and "Sq x Em ."
