Many issues are annotated for difficulty as follows:

loc *** exist *** algo *** size ** imp *
-- .while and .shift

- \w'' improve width measurements
would not be very useful without an expression parser, see below
needed for Tcl_NewStringObj(3) via wiz@ Wed, 5 Mar 2014 22:27:43 +0100
is not safe, e.g. `.Bl -column .It Pf a b .' gives "ab."
but should give "ab ."
-- check whether it is correct that `D1' uses INDENT+1;
- does it need its own constant?
- loc * exist ** algo ** size * imp **
-
- 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)
- 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.

--- missing tbl features -----------------------------------------------

+ loc * exist *** algo *** size ** imp *
- support mdoc(7) and man(7) macros inside tbl(7) code;
probably requires the parser reorg and letting tbl(7)
- look what Joerg Schilling manual pages use

-- use Unicode U+2500 to U+256C for table borders

-- replace "li.It-dash:before" with "ul.Bl-dash > li:before"
- and get rid of the class="It-dash" in the <li>,

(Evaluate whether this is really useful and has no adverse
it does seem cleaner.)

+- .IP wants vertical spacing before itself;
+ currently, it is formatted like .Bl -compact.
+ Fixing this requires getting rid of the "float"
+ in the CSS for .Bl-tag first.
+ Reminded by Pali Rohar 25 Oct 2018 10:10:35 +0200.
+
+- format multiple subsequent .IP as a single list
+ rather than opening a new list for each item

+- When a man(1) command returns no result and there was an -S
+ argument, check the -S argument against the list of valid
+ architectures and say "Unknown architecture AAA" rather than
+ "No entry for NNN in the manual" if there is no match.
+ Requires moving the lists of valid architectures out of
+ mdoc_validate.c such that they can be used by main.c.
+ Discussed with jmc@ 10 Aug 2018 19:20:12 +0100.
