You were looking for a retirement project if I remember correctly.
While it's probably out of scope for this mailing list, I would be
interested in how you would handle things like an editor proposing
a change that would involve not just word changes, but formatting.
A non-roffer would need to have some way to show those changes and
to have them pushed back into the appropriate requests and reformatted.
