But in 1.17 it will change!  You may try the files tmac/*.new in the
current snapshot which provide a completely revised mdoc
implementation.

Attached is the necessary sed script to strip off comments, spaces,
etc., e.g.:

  sed < tmac.doc.new > tmac.doc

It's already very stable; currently I'm polishing the reference
manual.
