XML and Docbook aren't the problem. The problem is that Docbook should be
parsed according to stylesheets to take care of spacing to be converted to
.txt, xml and other relevant outputs. XML serves a purpose, and the current
tools for editing documentation are avoiding what XML was set to do,

Unfortunately this is not limited to doc PRs. We do a little bit
better at ports due to the "maintainer" concept.

While I agree with this, I'd rather let people know that
Thank you for your response. The tools I'm referring to are igor and xmllint.
Mention of igor is here,
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/overview.html .
(the other link had the mistake of including the sentence punctuation)
Mention of xmllint is in chapter 7.2.

I'm aware of FreeBSD's XSLT and DSSSL stylesheets, mentioned at
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/stylesheets.html,
but they should be used exclusively for its Docbook XML.
XSLT's stylesheet needs to be a part of automating of tabbing and stripping of
spacing outside
