Everything else comment #5 covered seems to have been handled back in February

This was done in
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=9e35aac37 commit
9e35aac37].

Done (the section being named "Deferring Output") in
[http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=85c597a12 commit
85c597a12].

Done in [http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=1b93f610e
