Since you have indicated that you agree that there are problems
with *roff-style formatters, why are you designing another one?
There is currently an ISO Draft-Proposed Standard for a Text
Processing Programming Language and for a Text Processing
Markup Language. Perhaps you should look into this, rather
than redoing a twenty-year-old formatter. The TPPL is a highly
structured language, and the markup language takes all the good
ideas from Scribe and then does it right.
