	Hello Sean, this stuff looks really promising.  Anyways, I
	can't comment about the code as I have had no time to read it,
	but here are a few mdoc nitpicks I did:

+is implemented via a trio of sysctl OIDs. When
+.Va debug.watchdog.enabled

	Hmm, the .Va should be replaced with .Li.  Also, it is necessary
	to remove all hard sentence breaks, ie. instead of:

		"via a trio of sysctl OIDs.  When..."
=09
	It should be:

		"via a trio of sysctl OIDs.
		When..."
=09
	Sysctls should be documented using .Li.

+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr watchdogd 8 ,
+.Xr sysctl 8
+.Sh HISTORY

	Manual pages are first ordered by their section numbers, and
	then alphabetically, thus watchdogd(8)'s .Xr should be after
	sysctl(8).
=09
+.Sh AUTHORS
+.An -nosplit
+The
+.Nm
+code and man page were written by
+.An Sean Kelly Aq smkelly@zombie.org .

	Use `manual page' instead of `man page'.
=09
	Same sort of comments apply to the watchdogd(8) manual page.

	Hope that helps.
	Cheers.
