Technically, probably marked as analyzed.  However, this weekend we're
doing the doc/ repository moves.  ASAP after that everything under 
doc/ moves to DocBook (the FAQ, and its translations, plus a couple of
the tutorials) and we remove the need for sgmlfmt completely.

I'd also note that sgmlfmt is not part of the base system[1], it's a port,
and that problems with ports probably don't belong in the doc/ PR tree. . .

N

[1] At least, not on my 3-stable system it's not -- it may have been, back
    in the 2.x days when the Handbook and the FAQ were in the src/ tree 
    too.
