I take it that the requested change to groff simply means to add
an option -P to grops so that a different prologue can be used
instead of the defult one. I think this could be useful.

I have not understood what the "prologue-mirror" does. What is "the
mirrored version of the book"? Does it simply mean that you can hold the
book up to a mirror and read it? If so, I don't think there's a general
need for that. Otherwise, please explain more fully.

What do you mean by "i18n" [internationalisation] in the groff context?

With thanks,
