Larry! Actually you proposed exactly that on this very mailing list in 2005 :-). I just happened to be reading through the archives last night... https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2005-10/msg00107.html If you read through the thread following the above message there’s a lot of interesting commentary, which is still somehow just a relevant in 2022 as it was in 2005.
