http://xmlroff.org/conformance.html

I do plan to include that conformance information in the xmlroff
distributions, but I haven't done the groundwork to be able to produce
the web page and the xmlroff documentation page from a single source.
Ideally it would be done with an XSLT stylesheet and some additions to
dump-info.xml in the spec-dump module.

True.

Note that there's now also a libfo-compat.xsl stylesheet in xmlroff
0.3.0 that you can use that tries to rewrite or remove various FOs and
properties so xmlroff has a better chance of working with your
document.

It's a bit rough-and-ready, but I'd rather spend my time improving
xmlroff than improving the stylesheet.  However, patches are welcome.

Tony.
