Replying to my own message.  It seems that <screen>...</screen> is
used in two different manners in the doc/ tree.  In the file
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/committers-guide/article.sgml it's used
as shown in line 171

     168         <para>Check out a module with the <literal>co</literal> or
     169           <literal>checkout</literal> command.</para>
     170 
     171         <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>cvs checkout shazam</userinput></screen>
     172 
     173         <para>This checks out a copy of the <filename>shazam</filename> module. If

In other places, like for instance in
doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/fonts/article.sgml,
it's used differently.

     239     <informalexample>
     240       <screen>&prompt.user; <userinput>vidcontrol VGA_80x60</userinput>
     241       </screen>
     242     </informalexample>

Where </screen> is preceded by a newline, the output does look
different when rendered by Netscape.  This is however a whitespace
fix, and it touches far too many places in the doc tree.  I am not
sure if a send-pr would be proper in this case.

Comments anyone?

I mean, is this worth the effort of going through every document in
there, and changing it, take a nice diff and post it to a PR?
