He probably means HTML output, and indeed, groff shows a lot of
weaknesses for this output device since nobody takes care to make mdoc
work well for hypertext.  Unfortunately, I'm really swamped with work
and have to share my spare time with a lot of other projects and some
private life.

On the other hand, there is already Eric's `doclifter' stuff which, as
far as I know, does a good job.  IMHO it would make more sense to work
on this tool than to write something new (since Eric apparently has no
time or interest currently to work on doclifter).
