I can't help it. 8-) 8-). I kid you not :-). About 40% of the SGML submissions I receive are broken in some form, despite a template that is correct. Usually it's unclosed tags, removal of a necessary tag, etc. If I had to guess, asking for nroff/mdoc submissions would result in a slightly higher success rate, as I suspect developers have a bit more experience with it, and also don't have to install a port to get syntax checking.
