In case someone steps forward and implements an improved syntax (whatever this improved syntax might look like), it should be straightforward to provide a `convert-groff' script that updates from the old to the new syntax. For example, lilypond (http://lilypond.org) continuously changed the syntax right before the last stable release – for very good reasons – and its `convert-ly' script can handle most of the changes just fine.
