-- implement \\
- in plain text, identical to \e
- as a macro argument, identical to \ i.e. escaping the next character
- We do not have macro definitions yet; if we implement them,
- \\ must behave in a macro def like in a macro argument,
- and when using the macro, it must expand yet again.

+- edge case: decide how to deal with blk_full bad nesting, e.g.
+ .Sh .Nm .Bk .Nm .Ek .Sh found by jmc@ in ssh-keygen(1)
+ from jmc@ Wed, 14 Jul 2010 18:10:32 +0100
+
+- \\ is now implemented correctly
+ * when defining strings and macros using .ds and .de
+ * when parsing roff(7) and man(7) macro arguments
+ It does not yet work in mdoc(7) macro arguments
+ because libmdoc does not yet use mandoc_getarg().
+ Also check what happens in plain text, it must be identical to \e.
+
+- .Bd -filled should not be the same as .Bd -ragged, but align both
+ the left and right margin. In groff, it is implemented in terms
+ of .ad b, which we don't have either. Found in cksum(1).
+
+- implement blank `Bl -column', such as
+ .Bl -column
+ .It foo Ta bar
+ .El
+
+- 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 -."
+
+- 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
+
+- 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)
+
+- When there is free text in the SYNOPSIS and that free text contains
+ the .Nm macro, groff somehow understands to treat the .Nm as an in-line
+ macro, while mandoc treats it as a block macro and breaks the line.
+ No idea how the logic for distinguishing in-line and block instances
+ should be, needs investigation.

+
+- The whatis(1) utility looks for whole words in Nm.
+ If the file name of a page does not agree with the contents of any
+ of its Nm macros (e.g. pool(9)), add the file name as an Nm entry
+ to the mandoc.db as well, such that whatis(1) finds it.
+ If there is a page with a file name that does not appear as a substring
+ neither in Nm nor in Nd, the same fix would allow finding that page
+ with apropos(1) using the file name as a key, as well.
+ Issue reported by tedu@ Fri, 05 Jul 2013 21:15:23 -0400
+
+- 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
