Paperwork...... The updated user's manual needs to be reviewed, and 
there's still a preliminary description document that needs to be 
finalized.  That document describes how the parts fit together.

While I won't disagree too loudly with the first part, that particular 
document is the exact opposite.  It is a utility document, a gdiffmk 
markup that exists only to flag the location of changes that were made 
to the nroff/troff user's manual; it doesn't use paragraph adjustment at 
all.

The description document has more detail about how to use the requests. 
It will probably be more useful initially than the nroff/troff user's 
manual.  It can can be found at:

The updated nroff/troff User's Manual:

I downloaded utmac some time ago when you first posted about it.  There 
are some interesting ideas in there, but I haven't studied it in as much 
detail as I would like.
