There is something ISC could do to counter this, though.  What about
trying to persuade to boss to make some money available to James Clark
so that he can bring groff up to the polish where you would be happy to
ship it in your product?  THen everyone else would as well :-) Then we
can *all* have DWB 3.1 functionality, be real grateful to ISC (so we'd
spend more time convincing the boss to switch to it :-) and you can
depend upon folx having said functionality ?
Just a pipedream, I know.  Sigh.
