#1993 needs no further action and can be probably closed. For #1957,
warnings are appropriate on pages where at least one other editor
understands the bug.
As for non-disruptive fixes to xorg manual pages, we can try to get
advantage from the fact that all xorg manual pages are either pure ASCII, or
valid UTF-8. The proposal is to cook up a sed that fixes all problems at
once and apply it to all files with the name man/*.man (and explain that it
has no effect on pages that need no fixes). The sed is:
sed -i -e "s/\xc3\xb8/\\\\[\/o]/" \
-e "s/\xc3\xa4/\\\\[:a]/" \
-e "s/\xc3\x9c/\\\\[:U]/" man/*.man
The first line is for Kristian Høgsberg, the second is for Michel Dänzer,
and the third is for Guido GÜnther.
